About me…
So who am I? Well in just a few words I guess I would say…
I’m a Photographer, Educator, YouTuber and Best Selling Author living in the South West of the UK.
Husband, Animal Lover and am the founder and photographer of the 39-45 Portraits Project.
Proud to be a BenQ Ambassador, Westcott Top Pro and Calibrite Ambassador
But here’s a few more random things About Me…
“I knew from the audience’s reaction that Glyn had been a huge hit, but when I read the hundreds of written evaluation forms completed at the end of the day, I realised that what he did on stage that day wasn’t just a really good session on retouching. What he did was something really special. He connected with the audience in a way that a few people in this entire industry can. Whatever that “thing” is that makes someone go from a really good teacher to a world-class instructor, he has it in spades. I knew right then I had to ask him to join our “Instructor Dream Team” at the Photoshop World Conference and Expo.”
Author
To date I’ve written 4 books covering Photography and Retouching techniques (published by Rocky Nook) and I’m super proud that all of them have each been Best Sellers on Amazon (LINK)

Speaker / Presenter
To present at Photography Conferences and Exhibtions around the World is such an honour and have led to me becoming a KelbyOne Photoshop World Dream Team Instructor and then in 2017, an Adobe MAX Master when presenting for Adobe in Los Angeles.
“One of the things I love about Glyn as an educator, is that he takes his audience beyond just the technical nuts and bolts of photography and emphasises the creative side of building an image. Too often we get stuck on f-stops and shutter speeds and forget that there is more to a successful photograph. In a way, Glyn is a coach, but instead of building muscles, he is motivating you to build a body of images that represent you as an artist. A good coach will always nurture you along to get the best out of you. Glyn has this gift. ”

39-45 Portraits Project
At the start of 2019 I began my “39-45 Portraits Project” which is an entirely self-funded project that involves me travelling the length and breadth of the UK to photograph our surviving World War 2 Veterans with the sole purpose of giving the Veterans and their families a classic, timeless portrait to keep forever.
The project has grown and continues to do so having had it’s first exhibition October 2019 thru January 2020 at the Soldiers Of Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock, UK and with more exhibitions happening in the future including the Pegasus Memorial in Normandy, France.
Without doubt this is the BEST thing I have ever done in my life. I’ve made so many incredible friends with so many incredible people and have shed more tears than I dare to admit.
British Army Photographers
I’m incredibly proud and honoured to have a relationship with the British Army.
Can’t do enough for these great people who are not only immensly talented but also immensly brave when it comes to some of the situations they find themselves in with a camera in hand.
The Veterans Charity
In 2019 I was overwhelmed to be approached and later become Ambassador of The Veterans Charity; an incredible organisation that work tirelessly for Veterans in Immediate Need.

bENQ AMBASSADOR | Westcott Top Pro | TetherTools
Couldn’t be happier to be associated with these three great companies; both of which create products that make my life as a creative so much easier.
One thing I always emphasise to folks is that I only use and recommend equipment that is ‘fit for purpose’ and does what it is intended to do, and not use kit purely because it has been pushed my way by a company as freebie. I was using lighting equipment from Westcott and had a monitor made by BenQ long before a relationship developed but now it has I’m a very happy camper indeed.
