A Personal Journey of Resilience and Creativity
Photography for Glenn is deeply personal. After losing his sister Cherie to suicide, Glenn turned to his craft as a way to process grief and celebrate life’s beauty. His images honor her memory and explore the power of photography to create connections where words fall short.
This personal journey has shaped Glenn’s approach to photography and teaching, infusing his work with authenticity, emotion, and purpose.

Innovation
A Legacy of Innovation in the Photographic Industry
Glenn has not only mastered his craft but also built a legacy as a pioneering entrepreneur in the photography world. He has founded and successfully run three industry-defining businesses, each contributing to the growth of the photography community.
Created For Life: A specialist printing and framing lab known for museum-quality products that allow photographers to showcase their work with unmatched precision and craftsmanship.
Fotoworkshops: A luxury photo tour company launched in 2008, which organized photography tours to over 25 destinations worldwide, including some of the most pristine and culturally rich locations.
Aperture Australia: In 2018, Glenn launched the country’s first immersive photography conference, uniting amateur and professional photographers in a collaborative, inspiring environment.
However, as these ventures grew, the demand for Glenn’s time and energy reached a critical point. To prioritise his personal business and passion—leading exclusive, small-group photography tours—he made the difficult decision to close these businesses. This allowed him to focus fully on sharing his knowledge, inspiring photographers, and delivering exceptional experiences through his tours and workshops.
In addition to these ventures, Glenn has owned and operated three high-end photography galleries, showcasing his work and that of other talented photographers. These galleries celebrated the artistry of photography, bringing fine art imagery to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Reviews & Testimonials
I recently attended a two day Photoshop workshop in Mackay, it was fantastic. Glenn doesn’t assume how much you know, he started at the basics, established a foundation of what you needed to know about Photoshop to use it then built on that foundation based on what the class wanted. Glenn gave everyone in the class the opportunity of one-on-one tuition which is not all that common in group workshops. The workshop was kept light hearted and interesting that made the two day learning experience enjoyable. The highlight for me was at the end of each day you were able to sit down with the guys over a drink and talk about all levels of photography and he shared his experiences and knowledge with you. Well done Glenn. I would highly recommend everyone to give Glenn a go for an enjoyable and knowledgeable experience.

What a fantastic weekend. I was a bit concerned at how the workshop would be catered for both beginners and advanced photographers. Well I need not of worried. They handled it beautifully. As a more experienced photoshop user, I found the content interesting, learnt different ways to approach techniques and a few new tricks. Next to me was a new photoshop user – through a little help he was able to pick up the steps relatively swiftly. This reinforced to me that this was indeed a workshop that had something for all levels of photoshop users. On the last day some of thought we would share some landscape photography at Shoal Point. Nature put on a lovely show for us, a beautiful way to end a fun filled weekend. Thanks Fotoworkshops – you did it again

I can highly recommend the workshops run by Fotoworkshops. I enjoy my Landscape Photography and I had been wanting to attend a workshop for some time. When I saw that there was a 2 day workshop being run on the Central Coast where I live I decided this was the one. They demonstrated simple and easy methods to process the images so you can get the most out of your photos. They explained the settings and controls on the camera to take stunning Landscapes. How to compose the shot to add depth and interest. They also told us about workflow, explaining ways to get the most out of the time you have to process your images. It was not just theory and photoshop either. We had 3 great practical shoots at various locations around the coast. All very photogenic places where they spent time with each of us showing us how to put the details explained earlier in the day to practical use. I considered myself a reasonable Landscape photographer, but after the workshop with Fotoworkshops I could see many areas where my skills needed improvement. I now find after doing this workshop my photography has improved both capturing and processing the image. I have even applied the knowledge I gathered to improve the shots I had already taken with new Photoshop techniques. In short this is the best money I have spent on my photography in some time. They has inspired me to greater levels and I am starting to see that inspiration paying off in my images. Thank You!

I attended a recent workshop and it was fantastic!! I was always scared of photoshop and thought it it was a program that was too in depth for me But after this workshop I now feel I’m confident enough to get in and edit my photos – if anyone is considering attending one in the future, I would say just get in and do it, you won’t look back!!
