Bio
Glynis Carpenter develops dynamic, story-driven work for companies, entrepreneurs, and artists. She has 25 years of experience in brand building, photography, creative direction, concept development, and production.
Her projects include conceptual campaigns, documentary-style storytelling, and product launches across many industries, including skincare, pharmaceuticals, apparel and accessories, food and beverage, hospitality, and consumer goods.
She’s a third-generation creative entrepreneur. Her grandmother was a top New York fashion model in the late 1940s who later became a leading U.S. talent developer, and her mother went on to build a nationally respected brand in the same industry. That early proximity to image and identity informed Glynis’s approach to conceptual and visual storytelling.
Raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Glynis excelled in all things artistic, then graduated from the University of Georgia Honors College with a degree in English, with a focus on medieval literature, an education rooted in symbolism, structure, and narrative.
After college, she moved to Brooklyn to work with a top fashion agency, helping develop their new faces. As a photographer, she’s known for her ability to guide people who have never been in front of a camera. She was called “the best posing teacher in New York.”
Photography and commercial directing work have intertwined with branding projects and creative direction for the last 20 years. Select client list below.
She lives with her family in scenic Dutchess County, New York, just north of NYC. She travels and works worldwide.
