kelley gin
Kelley Gin is terrified. Her nervous smile is ratting her out. We need a couple warm-up frames. I press the camera against my face but just as I do, a bright idea strikes me. We blast The Killers' Spaceman. Kelley loves The Killers but hasn't seen them live yet. I testify that they indeed put on a good show. In fact, I like The Killers too. So much so that I start fist-pumping to Brandon Flowers' arena rock-filling chorus in the middle of an empty Zuma Beach parking lot.
Maybe this catches her off guard. She's definitely laughing. She's also definitively gorgeous. Her gold heels testify to the fact that shoes alone can carry an entire look...maybe even carry her entire being.
Kelley Gin is the event coordinator and owner of Picture Perfect Events in Southern California. With a penchant for good design, she persuasively ushers her clientele away from the tired hotel wedding in exchange for the endearing...the organically romantic...the whimsical.
abraham:

Hi Fred, Thank you SO much for the taking time out to shoot me. I had a wonderful time getting to know you and your passion for being behind a camera. klg

frombrandon:
Wow, I love these. Very clean, very crisp. My favorite is the one with her holding her toes. It's different, and the dirty bottoms of her feet make a "clean and crisp" shot a bit more real. Very cool.

janine walker
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.
September:
It seems you two 'fiery' souls were destined to meet. : ) Great shots!

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 :(

jessica
UPS Runner...
Assistant Music Consultant...
Lunch Coordinator...
Driver...
Administrator of Awesome...
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 :)

FRED EGAN:
Denise <<< That would save me a couple of embarrassing moments now wouldn't it :-)
(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.

denise bovee:
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.

Jamie Delaine:
Wow. Gorgeous. Love her dress and the energy you always capture!!

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).

brenda
Brenda's a friend of mine...from college...the Texas A&M days back in '99ish. Yeah...wow, I just felt old. We also both worked at Pine Cove Christian Camps as counselors that summer.
I was a bit nostalgic when I walked into her living room only to find a photograph of her and roommates from over 2 years ago that had "Castleberry Photography" emblazoned in the lower right hand corner [I'm laughing out loud right now...please join me].
If I still had the image I'd post it right now so we cold all get a second round of laughs on me. But I shouldn't hate so much...after all, it was those photographs then that lead to these photographs now. So, we thought we'd give it a second go.

ansley
Ansley...what a rad girl! She rocked this shoot like she owned it. She just let it all out and hanging out on her parents' house boat while jammin' to The Pierces and Sara Barielles was all it took. Have to give a shout out to BFF Sammy for doing such a great job with reflectors and such...and putting Ansley in stitches in a moment's notice.

one light workshop
I fled Vegas in order to dive into Zach Arias' ONE Light Workshop in Houston with my good buddy Erik Clausen of Poser. To my pleasant surprise, my dear friend Lauren Clark greeted me with a warm, "Egan?"
Everyone was making these rad fierce photographs with the off camera lighting but you guys know I couldn't succumb to the serious stuff ;) So I made a couple with Lauren and her "WHO" face.

caroline
Before Christmas arrived, I headed up to Winterpark, CO with my clients Jeff and Caroline. Eight other friends were also in tow for some ridin' and a quick shoot with Caroline. The snow was great on the mountain and I definitely ripped it up. All week I was hoping it would snow lightly for the shoot...naturally the morning of, fluffy, large snowflakes lazily fell from the overcast sky.
