"I took Andras Schram's three day wedding workshop and was blown away. There was a wide variety of skill level in attendance from amateur all the way up to professional photographers and he was able to convey his experience and technical wizardry to everyone in a way that felt comfortable and was easy to understand. Andras is a gifted photographer as well as a gifted teacher. He took us from properly understanding our gear and what it can do (and how to get the most out of it) to shooting in a studio setting, shooting on location right through to post-processing. He even shared his workflow secrets and methodology with us. It was a memorable experience and I left a more confident photographer. I would recommend his wedding workshop to any photographer - novice and pro alike."
Wedding Photography: A Weekend of Inspiration With Andras Schram
By Evelyn Hein
I attended Andras Schram's Wedding Photography Workshop that took place in Calgary on November 29th and 30th, 2008. Andras is an Award Winning Photographer who specializes in Wedding Photography. The business of wedding photography is very competitive and Andras had proven himself to be one of the top North American Wedding photographers. With his unique style, Andras captures what life has to offer with a push of a button. Once I spent a few minutes listening to Andras share stories about his inspiration, his values in photography and his adventures it was clear that Andras knew how to work a crowd.
From the workshop, I learned that one of the most important tools of wedding photography is yourself. As a wedding photographer you have to be an organizer, a photographer and at times a psychologist. You have to understand what people desire by being an effective listener, and you have to follow through, and exceed expectations. Andras is a professional through and through and always strives to develop a relationship with his clients and students.
The students that attended the workshop were generally advanced amateurs, who had passion for photography. The workshop was fun and exciting. Each topic we went over was useful and meaningful, and Andras always had a story to accompany his work. He simplified and shared tips and tricks on each topic, that increased confidence in students. We went over marketing and promotion, outdoor and indoor shooting, post production actions, filters and layers, albums and album design, digital workflow and websites. I was impressed that Andras was open to share his secrets to a good business, and was willing to share the mistakes he has made on his journey.
I recommend this workshop to beginners to digital wedding photography as well as seasoned wedding photographers looking to learn some new to bring to there clients. This workshop will give you the tools to bring your wedding photography to the next step, bringing clients more than they expect in a modern, sophisticated way.

WOW...these are simply amazing..I keep coming back to look at them :-)
(04.13.10 @ 10:50 PM)Great images. I fell in love with underwater photography a few years ago. Haven't upgraded the housing to my Mark II, but I have been getting amazing results with my canon Point and shoots. There is a function on these little suckers that allows me to do an "evaluative white-balance" with a push of a button. Knocks all the blue out of the image and renders the scene with vibrant colors. Check some of my images out here http://www.hodginsphotography.com/gallery/underwater/ you have amazing work my friend, it was great meeting you in Calgaray. Cheers
