With a busy schedule as a surgeon, Jeremy was able to make use his very limited vacation time to take great photos and he has won the Bird Category of the prestigious NANPA contest, and in "Conservation" the year before, leading to the conservation of pelicans in his local area in Louisiana. Such an inspiring story! And Jeremy has mastered the skills in Sharp Winning Photos 2.0 so that he can spend the shortest time in the field yet to still get great photos.  

The Problem

To take the best bird and wildlife photographers, and to make a living from photography had always been my dream. 

I read through all the magazines, forums, books, bought and rented different cameras and lenses, used the exact settings as advised, and followed the post-processing workflows and travelled to many places. 

When I shared the photos and submitted to contests, what happened? Crickets!

I thought it was gonna be super-easy. But it wasn’t!!! 

It was a period of frustration and self-doubt. I had no idea what's wrong with my photography. To me, they seemed to be fine, and were on par with some great photos taken by the pros. 

I was doing everything “right!” but it just didn’t work! 😭

I would spend hours and hours waiting in the field for that special moment, and family and good friends gave me encouragement, "You are a natural. You are doing great."

But I know they were just comforting me. 

Fast forward 5 years, still nothing worked. But something needs to change. 

So, I did a full 180! I tossed out the conventional advice and decide to do the exact opposite. I reverse engineered how humans react to a scene and read thru the art history and borrowed ideas from the grandmasters in oil painting and visual design.   

I shifted my focus to taking photos that were not just perfect in image quality, but also tell a story and evoke emotion. 

And guess what?

My photos, when shared online, went from less than 10 likes to thousands of likes, from a few comments of "nice" to hundreds of comments. People writing to me how they were moved by my photos. They opened up to tell me their life stories. 

I created a genuine connection through my art. 

Soon my friends suggested I submit photos to contests. At the time I didn't even know that there are photo contests. 

But knowing that by winning photo contests, it will be published in magazines and exhibits, it will really bring awareness to people about these animals and eventually help conservation, I was eager to try.

And to my surprise, the first few times I tried, I won numerous awards every time, including the Grand Prize in Nature's Best Photography, the cover and Top 10 in NANPA, etc. 

Fast forward to a few years later, I got invited as judge for international contests, including Nature Photographer of The Year and Bird Photographer of the Year, and Share-The-View. One organizer told me that they received messages from numerous photographers who won awards in their contest, that they won because they have learned from me.

Just very recently, I was selected as one of the 15 famous wildlife photographers to know by Nature TTL among some of the most legendary photographers which I am very honored. (See below)

So what had happened!

The secret? It’s simpler than you might think.

I zeroed in on the key elements that make a photo works, and ignore everything else i’d been taught that had wasted so much of my time.

This method works for any ordinary people who have a job, or have a busy schedule. You don't need to be a professional full time photographer to realize your dreams. 

Now, I share my method with the students of Sharp Winning Photos 2.0, helping them navigate the same path.

And the beauty of it all? 

Once you can pull this off, the reaction from the viewers and the recognition will be like automatic. 

With each outing, you will know exactly what and how to capture certain moments, and wait for the impact you can make with your photography when you share them.

INTRODUCING SHARP WINNING PHOTOS 2.0

 The 10 Modules To Photography Mastery

You’re probably wondering why your photos don't seem to get the recognition they deserve. 

Remember, since I became the judge of various photo contests, I see hundreds of thousands of submissions. So I totally get it, because it’s a super common issue for most photos I see. 

The thing is, I can see the problem from a mile away. And most of the time it's a few simple fixes. 

The problem is, the photographers never know. And they spend their time on the wrong area to improve. 

If you suffer from this, it’s not your fault. It’s because of the huge amount of outdated and completely useless info on the internet, and the "advice" you get from random people in the comments.

In fact, a lot of what’s taught is the exact opposite of what will actually help you master your photography, which just wastes your time, energy, and money.

I’m here to help you forget all that outdated stuff and teach you the strategies for creating the best photos that actually works. 

The best part? You will create a following and the fans will want to buy your prints. 

This proven system has seriously worked wonders for me. It's why my photos constantly garner thousands of likes and hundreds of comments and lots of recognition each time I post. 

It works for my students too, and I’m confident it’ll work for you, as long as you’re committed to the plan and focused on mastering the skills I’ll share in the Sharp Winning Photos Program.

Tin Man is currently "Invited Judge" for 3 prestigious International Photo Contests

Tin Man's photos exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Washington DC. Brown bear, Grand Prize Winner, above. Silver fox, Wildlife Category winner, below. 
Tin Man Lee started bird and wildlife photography in 2009 as a hobby when he had a 9-5 job in a biotechnology company in Los Angeles after getting his PhD in Biomedical Engineering. For the next ten years, he took photos only in the weekends or in very few week long trips while working at his full time job. But even with so little time, he won the Grand Prize of Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International, with his photo exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History as a 6-foot print, and also as a 20-foot banner at the entrance of the museum. He had also won the Wildlife Category with his photo of foxes, also displayed at the Smithsonian Museum, among his many other recognition. In 2015 he was invited to have his first solo exhibit in Hong Kong, at HKUST, displaying 48 large format prints for 5 months. His work has made various magazine covers and have been featured at Smithsonian Earth, Google Nik, Outdoor Photographer Mag, Alaska Mag, Nature's Best Photography, WPOTY, etc. In Nov 2018, he quit his job to pursue photography full time. His other passion is teaching. With an engineering training, he loves to break complicated concepts into simple, easy to understand practical steps, combining art and science. His teaching style is enthusiastic and funny at times, making learning from him very easy and effective. That's why he has over a thousand students now and his students have won numerous national and international awards and helping conservation. 
It is with great honor that Tin Man has been selected by Nature TTL as one of the 15 Famous Wildlife Photographers To Know, among some of the most legendary photographers.

Does this work for me if I'm just getting started on bird and wildlife photography?
Great question! If you're just getting started this is perfect for you, as you'll be getting the entire strategies right from the get go. Think of it as a house, would you rather build on firm foundations or spend a tons of time figuring things out yourself only to realize you've been taking photos on faulty ground?

How much time do I need to spend to be successful in photography?

With my proven system and frameworks, tactics and strategy, you'll be able to create consistently great photos. You won't find this formula anywhere else.
How can you 'guarantee' my success?
What I'm sharing with you in this program has been developed over the past decade from working with multiple YouTube channels run by my own. The formula is proven and if you follow it you will see results, but just like following a recipe you might not have all the ingredients needed to make the best-tasting cake on your first go and that's why we have a community and group calls to help you reach the success you want.
What if I join and don't get the results I was hoping for?
If you go through the program, do the work, show up to the calls, and ask for feedback and guidance you WILL receive results. Remember this program isn't about views and subscribers it's about making money, the vanity metrics come as an added bonus.
Does this work anywhere?
It works for the ultimate extreme trips at the edge of the world as well as your backyard. Indeed we have students winning international awards with their backyard animals. The key is to know how to find opportunities even if the encounter, light and condition are not ideal. 
I know I am pretty good in photography, but I’m afraid it will take a long time to get amazing shots.  
It can happen a lot faster than you probably think. I’ve had students winning awards just finishing one module. Sometimes all it takes is one idea to get the epiphany in photography. 
Will you answer my questions once I join?
Yes, I answer questions regularly within the private student community which you’ll get access to once joining.

That’s another reason I can’t take too many people at one time.
Why should I buy this program instead of someone elses that's cheaper?
Because this program ends up being FREE once you start putting it to work. I put things in place to make sure you have success and this doesn't become a program you open once and never do anything with it.
