Imagine my knee-jerk reaction when I walked into a pink and green bedroom..."we are definitely shooting in here!" I don't shoot indoors that often so I do it whenever I get a chance. Olivia's graduating next May and has quite good taste in music...which never surprises me when a graduate hires me. It seems to be something we usually have in common. I finally had my make-up artist, Chelsey, make it out and she rocked Olivia's face off. Big props to Olivia's best friends for being on location also. They kept it fun and entertaining!
Thanks to my peeps at Into the Darkroom for a better way to view my photographs on my blog (hop out of your RSS reader to see what I'm talking about)...scrolling is so archaic!
John Waire:
Big fan of the sun flare shot. 70s vibe. Groovy man! Groovy.
Schweet as always. Keep up the good work.

Dude. LOVE the new viewing format. Methinks you've gone and started a new blog trend. Way to be at the forefront Mr. Egan.
Also loving that last image. It looks like your style, but an evolution of your style.

ITD did an awesome job...and the great thing is it still displays everything normally through a reader (unlike slideshows)! Oh...awesome pix as usual, too!

While I snuck away to L.A. this past weekend, I pulled together a creative shoot I'd drawn up several weeks ago. Jet Set Models provided some great models and I got to cruise around L.A. in a VW Westfalia for three days. It was rad...the times it would start.

The tattoo peeked out of Janine's left Ted Baker coat sleeve. It's significant...it's the Chinese character for "Fiery," the nickname her father gave her as a little girl. I found that interesting because (half of my heritage hails from Taiwan) Egan is an Irish name meaning the very same thing..."Fiery." We met up while I was in Dublin for some portraits to update her web presence...and had a brilliant time of course! Thank a million Janine :-)
Janine Walker photographs weddings and portraits in Portadown, Northern Ireland while keeping a fun blog that chronicles her professional and personal life. Married to her wonderful and supportive husband, Andy, they entertain 2 lovely dogs and butt heads over laundry day.
September:
It seems you two 'fiery' souls were destined to meet. : ) Great shots!
(09.05.08 06:01 PM)
Janine:
Aw Fred they are brill!! You just rock. It is so weird to see myself on your blog lol! HI TANYA!!! Oh and my main website is one of the casualties of bludomain9's death :(

THE PARSONS:
such great shots, I can feel the lightheartedness just looking at them. and yet it's torture all at the same time because we are SOOOOO far from the ocean.

Jill of all Trades...
...are just a few pairs of shoes Jessica filled this summer as my intern. She's bright, loves to read and cuts quickly with her sharp wit. She's heading back to Texas A&M for her senior year and is looking to pitch camp somewhere within in the photography world. She'll miss me but she'll take my Chipotle addiction with her to College Station :-)
*Dress from Anthropologie. Jessica's obsession with the "proper nomad" lifestyle is almost as bad as my "New England casual prep" infatuation.
FRED EGAN:
Frank <<< Much love to you man...just to clear the air everyone, Frank G. is a lover not a hater.
(08.12.08 11:10 AM)
Frank Glodek:
Great shots, Fred! :)Jessica looks sooo much like my dear friend Ally from Penn State. I love how you get the beautiful contrast and muted colors in the first shot, even though the sun is in front of the lens.
(P.S. I hate that someone with the same name as me is griefing your blog)
(08.12.08 09:04 AM)
Jenae:
Those look great...and seeing how I seem to be the only intern you didn't take pictures of...well anytime you want to redeem yourself you just let me know :) Until then I will continue to wear the shmock on my head :)
(08.11.08 05:59 PM)

(08.11.08 11:55 AM)
FRED EGAN:
Chip <<< I know, right?! Freebirds is in my area too (former Aggie here) but I just don't frequent it as much. It's the small things...like not including guacamole or sour cream that push me away from Freebirds.
(08.11.08 11:54 AM)

a girl after my own heart..anthropologie. i think jessica should have had one more job on her list..follow fred at blockbuster and pick pick anything he drops.
(08.11.08 10:35 AM)
chipgillespie:
Chipotle in College Station?!? I don't think they'll let her back into school unless she swears her undying allegiance to Freebirds! :)
Nice shots.

akil bennett
Akil Bennett hails from Houston, TX where he photographs weddings and portraits. Although his origins are in videography, he's making the transition over to photography. He's a smart guy in that he understands how important his personal image is to his brand (probably something he picked up at my workshop last Spring). We descended upon Austin, TX for two days and had a good time getting to know each other.
Swing by his blog and check out what he's been up to. For the movie lovers, Akil writes up reviews on recent flicks he's enjoyed. Drop him some comment love below so he knows he's lookin' good.
...oh yeah...and he's single. Carry on.
Ayesha:
oooo Akil is a hottie... definitely will show him some blog love ;). The pictures and colors are HAUTE. My favorite is the one where Akil is jumping over the chair and second row first picture.
(08.01.08 01:38 PM)
Annemarie:
Met Akil last night in Houston because of your blog pics and link, Fred. These are amazing...and so is Akil. Love how the blog world can connect people so easily. Have a fantastic time tomorrow night in Houston.....tell Shyla HI! :)
