About Glenn Harmon

I photographwhat it felt like.

I’m a commercial photographer based in Columbus, Ohio. I photograph businesses through the people, places, products, and experiences that make them feel like themselves. The work is built for websites, campaigns, reports, social media, press, and the many places a business has to show up.

I also work in software consulting, so I spend a lot of my time thinking about how businesses work. Photography gives that curiosity another outlet: the people doing the work, the space they have made their own, and the small details that someone else might walk past.

I bring a camera along even when there is no assignment. A drink arriving at lunch, the light in a coffee shop, or a musician onstage can be enough to make me stop. Those photographs matter to me too. They are part of learning what catches my attention and how I want to show it.

Much of my client work is ongoing. By the third session I already know your room, and we can spend the day finding something new. Your team gets a growing library that keeps pace with the business, and the photographs become more familiar with the people in them.

Most of the people I work with do not spend much time in front of a camera. That is kind of the point. I keep things calm and thoughtful so they can stay focused on the work, the room, and each other instead of wondering what to do with their hands.

How I work

Familiarity makes room for better pictures.

  1. 01

    Read the room

    I pay attention before I start directing. The light, the pace, the people, and the details that make the place feel like yours all shape the photographs.

  2. 02

    Plan, then stay present

    We decide what matters before the session so nobody has to perform for the camera. Once the day starts, I can watch for the unscripted moments in between.

  3. 03

    Come back and go deeper

    Familiarity changes the work. Each session gives us more room to move past the expected photographs and make something the last session could not.
