Andras Schram
Andras was born in Budapest/Hungary and has moved to Canada in 1997. Even as a young kid he vividly remembers how mesmerizing natural light could be during the day and at different times of the year. He always wondered if it can be captured and captured exactly the way he experienced it at that very moment. It really all started with a camera that he got from his father when still in elementary school. He even skipped some classes just so that all those wonders he saw and imagined can now finally be captured on film.
Andras considers himself more of a documentary photographer than anything else. Sensitive and spontaneous photography is his style with a bit of spiritual approach. As he always says “I like to follow and go with the action or flow rather than taking over and leading the setup”. “I use my camera as a poet uses his pen, through my eyes and the lens of the camera; I capture the moments and blend it into a story. I strive to have my photography reflect everything that life has to offer. Whether it is happiness, beauty, pain or sorrow; all the hardships and triumphs of life”.
He never looked at his photography as a business even though it is the mayor source of his income.
Being a photographer he tries to add a touch or uniqueness to the images, sort of like a special unique brush stroke that distinguishes one painter from the other.
Most of the time, he will study the subjects, talk to them and get to know them. To have a feel for their reactions and emotions towards him as the photographer and the environment surrounding them. This technique has helped to get closer to them without breaking fully into their own personal universe. “I like to feel the energy emitted from my the people and I use this energy to translate it onto my photos. It is like a journey and I enjoy dragging my subjects into it along with me”.
Since he was very young Andras had and excellent understanding of human nature and this has helped him during this journey, where his friendly approach is welcomed even at the most private and personal moments.
