Glen Luchford

Glen Luchford (born 1968) is a British fashion photographer and film director. He lives and works in Venice, California.

Life and work A self-taught photographer, Brighton-born Luchford left school at 15 and moved to London, where he worked at a hair salon. Nominated for the Michael Powell award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the film is considered to be an inspiration for Steven Spielberg's The Terminal.

In 2009, Luchford joined artist management agency Art Partner.

Luchford collaborated with Alessandro Michele on the re-branding of Gucci after Michele's appointment as the brand's Creative Director in 2015. He photographed the designer's first campaigns, and created a brand new image of Gucci with Michele. His cinematic approach on the images took Gucci away from the sexualised campaigns of Michele's predecessor Frida Giannini and the Tom Ford era. He photographed Gucci's campaigns until Spring Summer 2020.
