ivie and osa
She grew up knowing it was a conventional part of life-not necessarily a medical condition. Ivie's grandmother would birth Nigerian babies on her living room floor. No residency, no diplomas, no letter's behind her name. Just the weathered hands of experience. So it comes as no surprise Osa holds the hand of a skilled midwife as they stroll through Central Park this warm Monday afternoon. The city is a buzz-a sporadic chatter of yellow cab horns, cell phone conversations and catholic school children. Yet, it's orbit around the green sanctuary of earth between 59th and 110th is true. It's gravity great. It's a reflection of Ivie and Osa's growing relationship. Her extroverted orbit around his strong, quiet core is one of destiny...as if God himself set them in motion. This is quite evident as she dances around him, propelled by his gravitational pull.

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.

Sara Gray:
These are great, Fred - what a nice-looking couple! They seem so sweet and tender. Shooting inside with natural light is becoming one of my favorite things - I'm always looking for some nice big picture windows!
(04.01.09 11:25 AM)

ben and cassie
This is the first time I've seen Cassie since we grabbed our diplomas in our high school football stadium 9 years ago. MySpace and Facebook do a pretty good job of keeping old friends in contact. She's found Ben in Tennessee but they'll be back in Texas this summer for their Chandor Garden wedding. We started off our shoot right...with sno-cones :D
momma:
You caught Cass's toes curling in shot over mailbox

I agree....huffy would love these. Awesome shots as always.

michael and sophia
Holiday in London was magic and getting to know Michael + Sophia was even more brilliant! Most of the location I scouted out the day before in my video worked out in addition to some pleasant surprises. Portobello Road Market (with the colorful buildings), the Travel Bookshop (where Notting Hill was filmed) and Turquoise Island all rocked...CHEERS!!!
Sharine:
I love this set. It's awesome
(07.05.08 01:39 AM)
Jeremy:
I just love this shoot.. I've been following you for a while *silently* Keep up the awesome. :)
(06.13.08 11:36 PM)

Julie <<< What I experienced of London was only the tip of the iceberg...more reason to go back! And film more digital shorts :)
(06.04.08 10:04 PM)
Julie Weisberg:
I've never been to London, but I got a good feel of it thru your images of these two and the locations! Nice work!

Awesome stuff Fred! My favorite is the one of Michael in the coffee shop. His expression is so interesting to look at =)
(06.02.08 12:32 AM)
Katie Beverley:
Wow! my first time to your blog! definitely bookmarking this one, my friend. Awesome work :)

FRED EGAN:
Graciete <<< The Fish Pond was madness! So good! We didn't go near the Electric Cinema, largely in part because I didn't know what/where it was :( So cool that you lived around Notting Hill :D
(05.30.08 03:01 PM)
Graciete:
Hey, just recently discovered your blog and I have to say I absolutely loved this series of shots! I must confess to being a little biased though, as although I currently live in Portugal I spent the first 22 years of my life smack in the middle of your shoot location! How cool to see that shot of The Fish Pond chip shop! Did you get any near the Electric Cinema? Makes me almost feel kinda homesick!
(05.30.08 02:58 PM)
Elena Hernandez:
Love the fresh looking images. Well done! I think this is a place where you felt creative and you definitely did a great job getting your clients to play too!

Elton <<< Welcome to photography and I'm honored to influence you...hopefully it will be for the better ;)
(05.29.08 11:02 PM)
Elton Anderson:
The 10th shot (where they are looking through the bins) is amazing!! Man, the mood of that pic is brilliant and it it truly one of many of your pics that I wish I shot. I am very new to the photography world but you are truly an influence on me thus far. Can't wait to see more.
(05.29.08 07:37 PM)
Jamie:
You made the cliche red telephone booth look freakin amazing!!!!!! Not that I doubted you...no really. I wouldn't. Ever. :-)
(05.29.08 05:07 PM)
Jeff Youngren:
LOVE these!! The last two are my absolute favorite :) Awesome work, as usual :)
(05.29.08 03:37 PM)

Ann <<< Pulling off a guard shot was a great idea...but proved a little more difficult to pull off given the locations were already shooting at. Guards are only at Buckingham Palace I believe and we were not really even close by. I'll save it for next time I shoot in London ;)
(05.29.08 02:43 PM)
ann:
did u get a chance to try a "sandwiching the guards" shot?
(05.29.08 02:03 PM)
ann:
i love these photos. her style is effortlessly classy and cool. you just pick up a very relaxed and peaceful vibe from the couple by looking at the photos. well done.
(05.29.08 02:00 PM)

Stephanie:
These are awesome...nah...BRILLIANT!!
I love the fact that i'm not bloody overwhelmed with too much London-ness...i'm just whelmed...
smooth moves...just started to folow your work and i'm lovin it!
(05.29.08 08:21 AM)
Jess (studio3z):
they turned out AWESOME!! you rocked this shoot. I agree with Jory below...you captured London's look and beauty, without making it too "London-y". Love the umbrella and wall. That B&W field shot is stunning.
(05.29.08 07:56 AM)
Kate:
Freakin' amazing. Love how used the wall + the phone booth.
(05.29.08 06:41 AM)
Shannon:
green wall = amazing, grass shot = beautiful, red collage = wicked good, entire shoot = phenomenal
you nailed it once again... ;)

Lara @ southern wedding style:
I want you to follow my husband and I around like this. Can you make us look like models too? Awesome images!
(05.28.08 07:25 PM)
FRED EGAN:
Jory <<< Thanks mate. I wanted to stay away from cliche so we went for subtle touches :)

hans and laura
Hans, fellow photographer in Dallas, all around good guy. We attended the prestigious Hardin-Simmons University together [and dry sarcastic overtones realized...NOW] and frankly his story of how he came to enroll at HSU is quite comical. His wife Laura and he wanted photographs of them together "before they get fat and ugly." Direct quote people. I don't see them getting fat and ugly anytime soon...so we took our time and they indulged me in some of the physical tests of strength I put them through (exhibit A. Downing waffles at Waffle House).
