small group consultation
As you might have read before, I'll be offering full day consultations in Philadelphia May 09, 2009 in a small group setting. There is only 1 spot available. The best part is that it's $150 off the full day consultation rate.
Wether you just picked up your first DSLR or are running your own photography shop, it can be a daunting task. My consultations build on that but go much deeper and cover a much wider expanse. Check out my Consulting Look Book for more information about what's offered and how it works.
Send an email to consulting@fredegan.com with "Philadelphia" in the subject line if you're interested in booking a consultation or have additional questions.

I want a Fred Egan consult!

Sam's planning her high school prom right now. That's what student body presidents do. Although nostalgic of her senior year, she's hopeful...optimistic about her move to Austin, Texas this Fall to study architecture. She'll be a Longhorn. And that's just the beginning for Sam.
Julie Brown:
Sam is such a beautiful girl! what an awesome picture!!
(04.16.09 12:50 AM)

Gorgeous, that sun flare is beautiful. It adds to her expression instead of taking away from it.
(04.13.09 11:47 AM)
Mindy:

megan and nate
I enjoyed a brilliant weekend in Atlanta recently to photograph Megan and Nate in their hometown. They're marrying in August and I'm really looking forward to going back. Although I don't shoot indoors often with natural light, I'm always seeking out opportunities to do so. We tucked into a diner near Little Five Points for a burger and then headed to Piedmont Park with Hadleigh, their lovable English Bulldog.
Steven Chellappa:
Hi Fred! Just wanted to say saw your ad on the back of Pacific Weddings Magazine, and went to your site.... Really surprised when I heard the music, Lauryn Hill, exact same song I had when I started my website :) Irony! Anyways, really love your work! Great stuff man!

Mike Viray:
Awesome shots, Fred!! I've been following your blog via RSS feeds for the longest time, and when I found out my dear friends Nate and Megan here in Atlanta were doing shots with you, I knew they were in for something extraordinary. Once again, you never cease to amaze. I chatted with Megan via chat earlier today and we got agree on one thing: We LOOOOOVE the shots.
I wonder what Nate and Megan were listening to on the ipod. Hmmmm.
(04.01.09 09:57 PM)

mammoth men 4 trailer
As many of you know, me and 11 of my best guy friends hit the road last fall. Here's all the stuff you didn't see in the photographs.
In the early wintery months of 2008, eight celebrated, award-winning and downright awesome photographers from all over the country grabbed their sticks to ride the mountains of Mammoth, California . This marked the beginning of what is now known as...wait for it...The Mammoth Men. What ensued during that getaway was a week filled with adventure, spontaneity, hijinks and storied tales. A bond was forged amongst these men and a commitment made to doing it again, and doing it often!
During the Summer of 2008, The Mammoth Men hit the road again. Only this time, they loaded up 10 photographers in a Prevost rock star tour bus, drove for five days up the California Coast and shared it with everyone via their traffic happy blog. So much so that their blog readers actually got to choose their day-to-day adventures while watching them play out the next day. The blog following continued even after the West coast trip ended and garnered media attention in the blogosphere.
Well, the guys are back for their much anticipated third installment of The Mammoth Men. Watch the mayhem unfold as these 12 photographers board their Prevost and head into the American Southwest to document their Route 66 road-trip. Packed with more guys, more miles and more camaraderie, it's not just a roadtrip...it's a lifestyle.
Julie Birdseye:
Hey Guy, this is random, but were you at the G Love concert? I saw someone that looked like you, but it 'twas dark, so I could have just made that up... either that, or by my staring, trying to figure out if it was you or not, you may have feared becoming the victim of a decent stalking.
(03.10.09 07:14 PM)
Caroline:
Great video! Looks like you guys had an awesome time! Have you thought about going into videography for weddings?
(02.24.09 03:42 PM)
Larry Reeves:
Awesome video! I'm so stoked for the next Man trip you guys take. I think the napoleon dynamite coming to mind is the fact that Fred has that Uncle Rico look.
(02.20.09 12:27 PM)
Dominoe Imus:
For some reason Napoleon Dynamite kept coming to mind, maybe it was the awesomeness, maybe it was the font... :)
(02.09.09 07:43 PM)
karl bratby:
Good God man i wish i could come play on your bus we Brits need to get some mommoth men style.....
(02.09.09 08:56 AM)
Jennica Wallis:
Wow, I love you guys! :D You're all amazing photographers and hilarious too!
(02.07.09 01:20 PM)
Becka Knight (Studio222 Photography):
Oh man. Nate is secretly so jealous. Maybe we should start an East Coast Mammoth Men? :)
Or women? We need a catchy name for the ladies.
(02.06.09 09:04 AM)
Ted Samuels:
So I guess dressing up in wild under garments and jumping in the air for a belly touch is considered cool these days???? More like little boys then men...................sad, in that pathetic way................
(02.05.09 08:21 PM)
wale:
this was seriously cool. inspiring. time to gather the boys. lol.
nice job on the video.
(02.05.09 06:51 PM)

ra ra riot is genius
Piggy-backing off of last month's Blitzen Trapper genius mix, Ra Ra Riot's The Rhumb Line has been in my collection since it's release. It's only been just recently that I've cozied up next to it and gotten comfortable. Not only do they compose poppy indie rock tunes, but they boast an understated sense of prep style while doing it. Also check out Santogold, Foals and what many a critics have deemed the best album of the year, T.V. On the Radio's Dear Science.
Bailey:
Just so you know, I would pay thousands of dollars for your music collection
as well as your ability to take phenomenal pictures.
Both are pretty intense.
(07.05.09 10:26 PM)
crissy:
I cannot believe it, but for a boy you have excellent taste in music! :)~
(02.06.09 03:17 PM)
ann:
NOW you're ready to admit you like foals ;) you're welcome
