Hi, I’m Glenn McKimmin—a professional Australian landscape photographer, Fuji X Photographer, and tour leader.
I guide fellow photographers worldwide, capturing breathtaking destinations and helping them create timeless images. Glenn Mckimmin is a professional landscape photographer from Australia with 15 years of diverse industry experience. He loves what he does for a living and generously helps others discover the life-changing benefits of photography. Glenn and his camera have captured awe-inspiring im
ages across a spectrum of countries including New Zealand, Slovenia, Bhutan, Canada, Ireland, England, Turkey, Syria, Norway, Austria, France, Italy, Mongolia, Kamchatka, India, Sri Lanka, UAE and the USA. When he’s not covered in colour at India’s Holi festival, Glenn loves to shoot local – Australian coastal and alpine scenes underpin his portfolio. The accomplishments extend beyond a stunning suite of images – Glenn manages several pioneering businesses within the photographic industry, all geared toward appreciating the dynamic art of photography. He’s Director of Created for Life, a specialist printing and framing lab. He’s also Founding Director of Fotoworkshops, an Aussie-based luxury photo tour company he launched in 2008. To date, Glenn has arranged savvy experts to lead photo tours to more than 25 colourful, pristine or wild countries across the globe. In 2018, Glenn founded Aperture Australia, the country’s first, (and the hemisphere’s largest) immersive photography conference. He believes there are lessons to be learnt from every level of experience – so, as Director, he’s placing amateur talent and award-winning photographers in one room to boost the industry as a whole. As a proud Fuji X Ambassador and Chromajet Ambassador, Glenn is focused on building a colourful legacy. His actions illustrate a commitment to sharing knowledge of the craft with others, rather than simply collecting trophies for the shelf. Once a passionate rugby player planning to work in PR, Glenn has now established a trademark photographic style shaped by his time training with industry legends. One of the greatest influencers was his uncle – panoramic landscape photographer Ken Duncan. After many hours waiting in the wilderness, Ken taught Glenn the grand reward of persistence: when everyone else has given up, you stay put to capture that golden shot! Originally from Manly, Sydney, Glenn now calls the beautiful Central Coast home. Based in the beachside suburb of Terrigal, he finds daily inspiration on his doorstep… plus many opportunities to play soccer with his awesome son, Xavier! But his work is also motivated by a family tragedy – losing his sister to suicide. To fathom a world without Cherie, Glenn learnt to feel his way day by day from behind the lens. Today, Glenn considers his finest work a tribute to her beauty and the unimaginable power of the medium to create a connection where it may otherwise be lost. As a lifelong supporter of the natural world, Glenn wants his photographs to highlight a special, forgotten innocence, with the ultimate hope of encouraging us to take better care of the breathtaking world right under our feet – because you genuinely never know when it might be ripped from beneath you.

Snaking Through Snipers Canyon
There are places that just stop you in your tracks — Snipers Canyon, just outside Queenstown, is one of them. Twisting its way through steep, rugged terrain with golden afternoon light pouring across the valley, this road is as wild as it is beautiful.
It’s narrow. It’s dramatic. It’s barely a road in parts. But if you’re up for the drive (and the adrenaline), it’ll reward you with views that feel like they’ve been plucked out of a fantasy novel. Easily one of my favourite spots in New Zealand — and that’s saying something.

Devils Marbles Redemption
Drove from Darwin to get here for sunset.
Shot the whole session with the lens cap on. Yep — rookie mistake, rangefinder life.
No screen, no clue. Not one image.
So I did what any defeated photographer would do — cracked a few cold ones and laughed it off.
This was sunrise the next morning. Redemption in glowing red granite.

Bay of Fires Moonrise
I remember this night vividly — the kind of stillness that makes you hold your breath.
That moonrise felt like it took hours, slow and surreal, climbing into a sky that felt too perfect to be real.
These rocks, stained red by nature’s hand, catching the last light like they were set on fire.
No editing tricks. Just patience, film, and one of Tasmania’s most magical spots.

Throwback to 2009.
Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake, captured on Fuji Velvia film — back when you had to wait days (sometimes weeks) to see if you nailed the shot.
No screen on the back, no second chances. Just light, timing, and a bit of trust in your gut.
Still one of my favourite places in Tasmania — wild, still, and unapologetically beautiful.

Summers Day — shot from the chopper, mid-January heat, above Avoca Beach.
The beach was packed, the water was turquoise, and the umbrellas did their best to hold off the Aussie sun.
This print’s always been a personal favourite — it captures that buzzing energy of a summer's day on the Coast.
No drones back then, just doors-off, leaning out, hoping for the right moment.

Last Light – Avoca Beach
A handful of surfers. A fading swell. That moment where the day exhales.
Shot from above, where the shadows stretch long and the sea goes quiet.
30/07/2025
Shot directly above Avoca Lagoon back in 2013, before drones were buzzing around like mozzies.
This was part of my Above the Coast series — captured the old-school way, doors off a chopper, seatbelt optional.
The shadows, the run-off, the sea meeting the sand... nature’s abstract at its finest.

Same beach. Different day.
Just a little higher up.
North Wamberal showing off that classic Central Coast charm.
The lines, the texture, the quiet dance of swimmers in motion —
familiar ground, but from up here, it all feels fresh again.

Just a guy… having an absolute cracker at North Wamberal.
Perfect line, clean lip, backlit spray—doesn’t get much more dialled than that.
Doesn’t matter who it is, it’s just one of those moments that makes you love the ocean.

Shot this one from North Avoca Headland, looking back towards Avoca.
It’s all about those lines—clean, powerful, and totally hypnotic.
There’s something about the ocean in motion… the rhythm, the repetition, the chaos and control.
Zoomed in tight to focus on the patterns, and somehow it just feels like poetry.

This one’s called “Lefts, North Avoca” and it’s hands down been my most popular print—by a mile.
Funny thing is, I never expected it. It’s raw, it’s moody, and it’s simple… but I guess that’s what connects.
Sometimes it’s not the exotic locations or the perfect light—it’s the local swell doing its thing and a moment that just feels like home.
