At 22 years of age, and still a student at Art Center College of Design, Glen Wexler was commissioned to photograph his first album cover for Quincy Jones Productions. With a multi-platinum project behind him he didn’t look back and quickly gained a reputation for his imaginative and elaborate photo-illustrations for Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Rush, Black Sabbath, Yes, ZZ Top and many others. Glen’s images soon began to attract top advertising clients including Acura, Sony, Jeep, Toyota, Maxell, Adobe, Warner Brothers Pictures and hundreds of others. Glen also creates feature photo-illustrations for TIME magazine.
Glen was among the original artists to adopt digital imaging technology as a tool in the creative process. Credited as a worldwide leader in the field, he has been invited to speak at the Seybold Conferences, PhotoPlus Expos, and at colleges across the United States.
Awards and recognition for Glen’s images have been received from Communication Arts, Graphis, Photo District News, Andy Awards, Beldings, Icon Awards, International Photography Awards, NPPA, Key Art Awards, and his images have been included in every edition of Lüzer’s Archive’s 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide.
Glen has been profiled in many publications including Communication Arts, French PHOTO, Creativity, ZOOM, The Los Angeles Times and Apple’s Pro Stories Series.
