Dallas-Fort Worth lost a beloved photographer last weekend. Former Dallas Morning News staffer Evans Caglage, who had been suffering from multiple health issues, enjoyed a final Fourth of July celebration with friends, who were shocked to learn of his passing just two days later, at age 69.<\/p>\n

The University of Texas at Arlington graduate joined The Dallas Morning News in 1979. His attention to detail in photography and eagerness to learn the latest in technology led to a multifaceted career in fashion photography and later in food and wine.<\/p>\n

Caglage was the lead photographer for The News\u2019 groundbreaking fashion section for many years, says former Fashion!Dallas editor Tracy Achor Hayes. \u201cHe was among the first to photograph such Dallas-discovered superstars as Erin Wasson, Bridget Hall, Angie Harmon and Chandra North. Models and colleagues alike appreciated his genuine kindness and gentle humor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iconic Dallas model Jan Strimple<\/a> agrees. \u201cEvans was a beloved part of the global fashion scene at a time when photographers and the journals they shot for were jockeying for real estate on the runway\u2019s edge. Sharp elbows and equally sharp tongues were the rhythm of the press pits, but somehow Evans existed above the fray.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wasson<\/a>, longtime model and winner of the Kim Dawson Model Search in 1997, says Caglage was the eyes and heart of Texas. \u201cOver the years, Evans and I got to spend many special moments of my career together. From the beginnings to spending birthdays celebrating him and him also showing up to take family portraits for me and my family here in Texas. His kindness knew no limits.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tina Danze, former food writer and stylist at The News, recalls Caglage as a \u201cphenomenal photographer.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough his first love was fashion photography, he brought the same attention to detail to bear on dishes that he shot for the food section,\u201d Danze says. \u201cHe had a knack for getting the perfect light, angle and prop placement. He didn\u2019t care how long it took \u2014 he was driven to get an extraordinary shot, even if it meant staying late (in the studio).\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Caglage took pride in his work, he wasn\u2019t competitive. \u201cHe told me the story of a press event for Audrey Hepburn in North Texas,\u201d Danze says. \u201cEach photographer had a brief opportunity to photograph her. After getting his shot, Evans noticed that the next photographer didn\u2019t have the proper lighting, so he lent his equipment. Noticing this, Hepburn turned to Evans and said, \u2018thank you for making me look good.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Caglage is survived by his brother, Costas Caglage, and sister, Jane Caglage Taylor, and her husband, Randy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas-Fort Worth lost a beloved photographer last weekend.
