Photographer | Poet

Thank you for visiting my online photography page!

I’m a photographer & poet based out of Helena, Montana, where I find endless inspiration in exploring the wilderness and beauty of Montana's hidden corners; capturing the rush of water in motion, witnessing the mesmerizing depth of starry night skies, and discovering Montana's many stunning vistas.In addition to my nature-focused work, I also enjoy documenting the emotion and energy of concerts, local events, and life’s special moments.
You can also hire me for your next professional portrait shoot!

I work with a wide variety of clientele — whether they’re collectors of my nature-focused work, fellow lovers of poetry, or individuals and businesses seeking private photoshoots, community event coverage, or brand storytelling.Connecting with people in unique ways and helping them bring their visions to life through photography is what truly fills my cup.Here’s what some of my clients have shared about working with me:
An absolute gem of a human and a fantastic photographer. Met him right when we moved to Helena, and we quickly bonded over our love of adventures and getting lost with our cameras. Check his work out and snag a copy of his book while you can!

Erosion and the Weathering of the Heart is a Made in Montana book filled with stunning poetry and Montana landscapes, and it would make such a thoughtful Christmas gift.
You can follow @Edwin.Glass.Photography to keep seeing more of his photography and poetry. It is a peaceful corner of Instagram I think you all would enjoy, mixed with hope, reflection, melancholy, and beauty.

Great work helping us create our brand and image through beautiful photography, with unique lighting and angles. Our photos turned out way better than I imagined they even could.

There are a few creators whose attention to detail, passion for their work, and dedication to subject matter truly shine through like they do here. Excellent photographer and artist. 100/10.
Shannon
A photographer whose lens perspective is as vast as the Great Plains and captures every last ray of light amid the wild Montana sky!
Kyle
