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 images 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.

FIRST LIGHT IN MOROCCO 🇲🇦

There’s something pretty special about getting up before the rest of the world and heading out with your camera, not quite knowing what the morning will bring.

My first morning in Morocco took me down to Casablanca and the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, sitting right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

I arrived just before sunrise, with the sky beginning to soften and the ocean stretching out behind one of the most extraordinary buildings I’ve ever photographed.

The sheer scale of this place is incredible. Its towering 210-metre minaret, the intricate Moroccan tilework, hand-carved stone, beautiful arches and extraordinary craftsmanship make it an architectural masterpiece. And then there’s its location, perched above the Atlantic, where the sound of the waves adds something quite magical to the experience.

I managed to capture this photograph in those quiet moments just before the sun came up. That beautiful blue light, the stillness of the morning, and this incredible mosque standing before me.

Sometimes photography isn’t just about the image you come home with. It’s about the experience of being there, watching the light change and taking a moment to appreciate where in the world you are.

What a way to begin my Moroccan adventure.

And this is only day one. 🇲🇦📷

CASABLANCA MOROCCO🇲🇦

Landed in Casablanca after dark. The road from the airport into the city was wrapped in fog, headlights and streetlights glowing through it, and nobody saying much. Then morning came, and from the hotel window it was all there. Rooftops stacked on rooftops, old buildings leaning in, and the mosque rising over downtown. Day one in Morocco, and I’m already hooked.

Indonesia, May 2027.

Fifteen days with a small group of photographers. Only ten of us.

Bali’s rice terraces in the early mist. The dragons of Komodo. Horsemen galloping across the golden hills of Sumba. Then sunrise at Mount Bromo, with the whole crater filling up with cloud.

And if you want to keep going, there’s an optional five days in Borneo, drifting down a black water river on a boat, hoping to see orangutans. No promises on that one, that’s wild Borneo for you.

I can’t wait for this one.

SIX VISITS. COUNTLESS MEMORIES. AND STILL IN AWE. 🇲🇳

There is something about the eagle hunters of western Mongolia that keeps drawing me back.

I’ve now had the incredible privilege of visiting these families six times. And with every visit, the experience becomes less about the photographs and more about the people.

What started as a journey to photograph one of the world’s most extraordinary traditions has become something far more meaningful.

Over the years, I’ve come to know these families, share time in their homes, watch their children grow, laugh with them, and experience a small part of a way of life that is so different from my own.

And I never take that privilege for granted.

As photographers, we often chase beautiful light, dramatic landscapes and powerful images. And yes, the golden light falling across these mountains, the horses, the eagles and the faces of these incredible people is something I’ll never tire of.

But the real beauty goes so much deeper.

It’s in the connection between an eagle hunter and their eagle. The pride in their traditions. The closeness of their families. The generosity they show to people like me who arrive with cameras, curiosity and a genuine desire to understand.

I feel an enormous responsibility when I photograph these people. Not simply to create beautiful images, but to tell their stories with honesty, dignity and respect.

Because these aren’t just subjects in front of my lens.

They’re people I’ve come to know, admire and care about.

These five photographs are just a few moments from my latest journey. Beautiful golden light, extraordinary people and a culture I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced so many times.

Six visits later, I still feel the same excitement, wonder and gratitude I felt the very first time.

And perhaps that’s the greatest gift photography has given me.

Not the images I’ve taken, but the people it’s brought into my life.

Thank you to the wonderful eagle hunting families who continue to welcome us into their world. It means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

THREE JOURNEYS. A THOUSAND STORIES. 🌏

Sri Lanka. Mongolia’s Eagle Hunters. Mongolia’s Reindeer Herders.

Three very different journeys, three incredible groups of people, and experiences that have reminded me exactly why I love doing what I do.

From the beautiful chaos and colour of Sri Lanka, to standing alongside eagle hunting families in the mountains of western Mongolia, to travelling deep into the forests to spend time with the reindeer herders.

It’s been an extraordinary few months.

But looking back, it’s not just the photographs I’ll remember.

It’s the people. The laughter. The conversations. The incredible hospitality of families who have welcomed us into their lives. And the moments when you put the camera down and realise you’re experiencing something far more important than taking a photograph.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to share these journeys with wonderful groups, extraordinary local guides and drivers, and people who have become much more than just travelling companions.

Nine little clips in this reel. They barely scratch the surface of what we’ve experienced.

That’s the thing about travel. You can show someone where you’ve been, but it’s much harder to explain what it felt like to be there.

And we’re not finished yet. Morocco is still to come! 🇲🇦

Feeling very grateful for every person who has been part of these adventures.

Here’s to getting out there, staying curious and experiencing more of this incredible world.

A few moments from deep in northern Mongolia with the reindeer herders. 🇲🇳

No big production. No elaborate story. Just a handful of moments from a way of life that feels incredibly far removed from our own.

The snow, the forest, the reindeer, the families — and a culture that you really need to stand amongst to begin to understand.

These are the experiences that remind me why I travel.

Not just to photograph a different world.

To spend a little time inside it.

MONGOLIAN REINDEER HERDERS

I can tell you how we got here.
The hours in old Russian jeeps, crossing country where the roads slowly disappear.

I can show you the reindeer herders moving through the forest as the snow begins to fall.

I can show you the photographs. I can show you the video.

But I can’t tell you what this forest smells like.

I can’t properly describe what it feels like to sit beside a fire, inside a teepee, listening to snow fall through the opening above you and sizzle as it hits the flames.

I can’t explain what goes through your mind when you’re looking at a reindeer herder in the falling snow and wondering how many generations have lived this life before them.

And then there are the people you share it with.

Guides like Moogii and Daulet, our incredible drivers and cooks, and a group of people willing to say yes to the long days, the cold, the rough roads and whatever comes next.

Because sometimes the people you travel with become as much a part of the story as the place itself.

And that’s the problem with what I do.

Some experiences are too big for a photograph. Too complicated for a video. And sometimes, I simply don’t have the words.

You have to come.

You have to feel the cold. Get uncomfortable. Go somewhere completely unfamiliar.

Because I can tell you that experiences like this can change you.

I just can’t tell you how.

That part, you have to discover for yourself

MORE THAN THE EAGLES 🇲🇳🦅

We’ve just said goodbye to two incredible eagle hunter families here in Western Mongolia, and every time I leave, it gets a little harder.

This is my fourth visit, and I honestly think the greatest part of these journeys isn’t the photography. It’s the people.

We come here to photograph the magnificent golden eagles, the dramatic landscapes and the extraordinary traditions. But what stays with me is something entirely different.

It’s the families who open their homes to us. The children, the laughter, the incredible hospitality and the beautiful connection between generations. It’s watching the bond between an eagle hunter and their eagle, and understanding that this tradition is about so much more than a photograph.

Spending time with these families reminds me why I fell in love with travel photography in the first place.

It’s about connection. It’s about slowing down, listening and experiencing a way of life so different from our own.

We’ve shared some unforgettable moments with our group over the past few days, and I’m incredibly grateful to these families for welcoming us into their world once again.

The photographs are wonderful, but the friendships and memories are what I’ll take home.

CHANGE YOUR HEIGHT

Sometimes the biggest difference in photography isn’t your camera, your lens or even the light.

It’s where you put yourself.

Out here in Mongolia, surrounded by these incredible eagle hunters and endless landscapes, I decided to get right down into the grass and completely change my perspective.

Suddenly, everything changed.

The golden grass became part of the composition. The background fell away. The eagle hunter and his magnificent eagle stood beautifully against the evening sky.

Same subject. Same location. Completely different photograph.

It’s something I’m constantly encouraging our photography groups to experiment with. Don’t just photograph everything from eye level. Get down low. Move around. Look through things. Find those little elements that turn an ordinary composition into something special.

Sometimes you’ve got to get a little uncomfortable to find the photograph you’re looking for.

And sometimes the best thing you can do is simply change your height.
