Quick Bio

Hi, I’m Glenn, and this is a super quick bio. I live with two slightly derailed rescue cats. Zorro, rescued from Robertson Quay in Singapore, and Coco, adopted through the SPCA in New Zealand. In 2024 our Whanau expanded with the addition of Gilly an absolutely beautiful four year old female Mini Schnauzer 🧡

My love for cooking knows no bounds, and I find great joy in experimenting with different flavors and cuisines. As a total photophile, I am constantly capturing moments and exploring the art of photography. Additionally, I'm an audiophile, finding solace in all forms of music. And yes, I am a complete sports junkie, always eager to catch the latest games and cheer on my favorite teams

But there's more to me than that. I have a passion for landscaping and building random things, a hidden talent that brings me great satisfaction. My business logo is a tribute to Miki, my beloved senior rescue Miniature Schnauzer adopted from Causes for Animals - Singapore, who sadly passed away in 2021 and continues to hold a special place in my heart

I am proud to be a multi-award-winning photographer, having achieved a Diploma of Arts in Visual Merchandising and Design, Photography, Graphic Design, Web Design, and Typography through RMIT University in Melbourne. I have also obtained a Diploma of Professional Photography through The Photography Institute of New Zealand, which has allowed me to further develop my skills and explore my main photographic interest - environmental portraiture for domestic canines and wildlife

I am fortunate to live in the picturesque area of Belmont, just a stone's throw away from the capital city of Wellington in New Zealand, a place that nourishes my love for adventure and travel

Further Study 2020

During the 2020 Covid-19 Circuit Breaker lockdown when I was living in Singapore, I seized the opportunity to enhance my skills by immersing myself in a comprehensive canine photography course. With a total of 7 hours spent engrossed in video tutorials on capturing the perfect canine shot, an additional 10 hours devoted to mastering the art of editing these photographs, and diligently reading through 280 pages of the Learning Guide, I was determined to absorb every ounce of knowledge. To solidify my understanding, I also answered 143 technical quiz questions with 100% accuracy

This course was expertly delivered by the highly acclaimed and multi award winning Charlotte Reeves. Through her guidance, I not only developed a further profound appreciation for canine photography but also refined my eye for capturing the beauty and essence of our furry friends in every shot
