Celebrated wedding photographer Andrew Holman is popular because of his Sedona Wedding Photography. Sedona is the name because his photo shoots are done in Sedona, Arizona, which is home of the beautiful red rock formations. These rock formations appear to glow in orange and red when the rising or setting sun hits it with light. Before Holman became one of the most well-known wedding photographers in United States due to his Sedona photography, he first had various stints such as photojournalist of a newspaper in Colorado.
Holman is not originally from Sedona or any city of Arizona. He just moved there in 2002 after having worked in a number of cities which includes Denver, New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles. Andrew Holman is originally from Denver, Colorado where he honed his photography skills. When Holman was in Denver, he was more known as an all-around photographer working as a portrait photographer and as a photojournalist.
Andrew Holman obtained his degree in Commercial Photography from then Colorado Institute of Art (now The Art Institute of Colorado). Right after graduating from this private college for arts and crafts, Holman had his focus in fine art portraiture which enabled him to be an expert in this type of photography. Holman had a number of traveling fine art exhibitions in the Denver which helped him gain wide popularity not just in the city but also in the entire state. One of his most notable photo exhibits was the “Portraits of a Community” series. This fine art exhibit of Holman gained city-wide attention as well as commendation due to its theme of profiling different characters in the Queen City of the West or in Denver.
Holman then decided to have his focus in a more conventional form of photography which is photojournalism. He accepted the position of photojournalist which was offered by Vail, Colorado-based Vail Trail Newspaper. His contract was for five years and his years there focused more on various community activities. His works were mainly from sports action to editorial features. Due to his great work in Vail Trail, Holman’s photographs were carried by publications such as The Village Voice, People Magazine, Ski Magazine, Mother Jones Magazine, and the Gamma-Liazon Photo Agency of New York. He even had commercial clients which include Oxygen Snowboards, Atomic Ski Company, Milka Chocolate, Vail Associates, and Boardriders Club of Vail. He also covered the 1999 Ski World Championships held in Vail.
