about.style

Glen Carpenter is a Houston-based fine-art photographer working primarily with the human figure, gesture and ambiguity.

Originally from Detroit, Carpenter works from his studio at Sawyer Yards in Houston. His photographs have been selected for juried exhibitions at Lawndale Art Center, Archway Gallery, Silver Street Studios, Visual Arts Alliance and Art on the Avenue.

In 2025, Carpenter was selected as a featured artist for 50 Artists Houston, Vol. 2. Recent exhibitions include the 2026 Harris County Juried Exhibition at Silver Street Studios, curated by Hesse McGraw, and Archway Gallery's 18th Annual Juried Exhibition, where Wholeness is a Myth was selected and subsequently sold.

His current work includes Denied, an evolving series in which the face is withheld and gesture becomes the primary language of the photograph.
