Welcome to The Beginners Lens  – a website dedicated to providing easy tips and synthetic reviews to help digital and mobile camera owners get the most out of their cameras.

My name is Guy Yang, and I’m a photo enthusiast, with a passion for both regular photography (point and shoot and DSLR) and the upcoming craft of mobile photography.

Over the past several years, I have quickly climbed the photography learning curve and often shared my knowledge with friends and family, on and off line.
 In 2010, I felt the urge to share that knowledge online, with a greater community and created The Beginners Lens.

The idea behind this website is to help photographers climb the digital photography learning curve as quickly as they wish, whatever their starting point, through both free and paid content.

So we work as a team, together with Audrey Taylor, Kristine Magadia and a few others to create and publish great content for beginner, intermediate and advanced digital photographers, in different formats: articles and photos, infographics, audio and of course videos.

I’m often asked about myself as I intrigue many visitors with my Chinese name, South-American looks, French home address and undefined English accent. “What a mix!” is a reaction I often get.

Well, a mix indeed, and that makes me feel – and yes I know, that sounds a lot as a cliché, but it’s a heartfelt one – a true Citizen of World.

As such, I love to connect with people of all walks in life and share experiences to learn from each other, especially when it comes to photography!
 We may meet each other at some point, exchanging clicks, taps and swipes online and on mobile, here, on thebeginnerslens.com, on our facebook page or on Twitter.

Until then, happy shooting to you!
 Guy Yang
