From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glen Luchford (born 1968) is a British fashion photographer and film director.

Luchford first signed with the New York Agency, Art and Commerce, at the age of 24. In 1997, he signed exclusively to Prada, and has since shot advertising campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Levi's, Mercedes-Benz and Calvin Klein. He has collaborated extensively with British artist Jenny Saville with shows at Gagosian Gallery, MOMA and The Victoria And Albert Museum, and has had editorial work featured in magazines such as The Face, Arena, i-D, UK,French, US and Italian Vogue.

Luchford's style is influenced by his love of cinema. He prefers to work in the studio using elaborate lighting set ups to create his evocative and cinematic images.

In 2001 Luchford directed the film 'Here to Where', about a filmmaker wanting to make a film about a man stranded at an airport. Nominated for the Michael Powell award at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The film is considered to be an inspiration for Steven Spielberg's The Terminal. ^{[citation needed]} In May 2009, Luchford signed exclusively with the agency Art Partner, and completed his first solo monograph with Steidl/Dangin.
