Glen Krohn is an Australian-born fashion, swimwear, and beauty photographer based in Bali, Indonesia, with more than 20 years of experience capturing timeless, sun-drenched images that blend commercial precision with artistic soul.
Originally working in radio in Australia, Krohn purchased his first camera in late 2005 ahead of a trip to Europe. What began as casual landscape photography quickly evolved into studio portraits of musicians and celebrities. By 2006, he had left radio behind to pursue photography full-time, embracing a steep but exhilarating learning curve that laid the foundation for his career.
After several years building his practice in Australia, Krohn relocated to Bali, where he has now lived for 11 years. The island’s golden light, dramatic coastlines, lush villas, and laid-back tropical rhythm became his greatest source of inspiration. He adapted seamlessly to island life — exploring on motorbike with his son Charlie, renovating a home, and balancing single parenthood with the demands of a creative career. His signature style draws heavily from 70s aesthetics — effortless poses, warm colour palettes, raw natural beauty, and a sense of freedom — fused with Bali’s vibrant, sun-soaked energy.
Today, Glen Krohn is recognised as one of Bali’s leading swimwear and fashion photographers. He specialises in both high-energy location campaigns and controlled studio ecomm work, moving fluidly between the two. On location, he thrives in dramatic settings such as cliff-top villas in Uluwatu and Canggu, hidden beaches like Pandawa, Dreamland, Secret Beach, Melasti, and Thomas Beach, or boutique resorts such as La Santa Rosa in Balangan. These shoots often feature golden-hour magic, ocean backdrops, infinity pools, and natural elements that bring swimwear collections to life with movement, confidence, and tropical allure.
In the studio, Krohn delivers clean, commercial-grade ecomm imagery with a distinctive hybrid approach: crisp digital captures for technical accuracy and 35mm film for organic grain, rich colour depth, and a premium tactile feel. This combination has become a hallmark of his work, allowing brands to benefit from both speed/precision and artistic warmth.
His extensive portfolio includes campaigns and ecomm for numerous Australian and international labels, among them Hello Molly, ELCE Swim, FAE Swim, Orphe, Suzie Q Swim, Sommer Swim, Delmaar Swim, Kimkini, and many more. He has collaborated with a wide range of international models, including Aisha Katerina, Cathlin Ulrichsen, Alysha Bandy, Rachelle Van Waardhuizen, Alexandra Pletnyova, and others, bringing out their natural confidence and energy in every frame.
Krohn’s Instagram account (@glenkrohn) serves as a living, breathing extension of his portfolio. With over 210,000 followers and more than 1,360 posts, it showcases a steady stream of campaign highlights, behind-the-scenes moments, studio tests, and golden-hour location shots. The feed resonates because it feels authentic — capturing the real process, the coconuts between takes, the laughter on set, and the quiet satisfaction when the light falls perfectly. This engaged community has helped connect him with new brands, models, and creative opportunities over the years.
Beyond technical skill, Krohn is known for his collaborative approach. He prioritises building rapport on set, whether starting with casual conversation over fresh coconuts or allowing models to move naturally in response to the environment. Clients appreciate his ability to deliver images that are not only visually striking but also commercially effective — empowering, aspirational, and true to each brand’s identity.
After more than 20 years in the industry and 11 years based in Bali, Glen Krohn continues to evolve while staying rooted in what first drew him to photography: the joy of capturing beauty, light, and genuine human connection. From raw beach sessions with crashing waves to meticulous studio work for ecomm, his images reflect a deep love for the craft and for the tropical paradise he now calls home.
For brands seeking a trusted Bali photographer who understands both the creative demands of fashion and swim campaigns and the practical needs of ecomm production, Glen Krohn offers a proven combination of experience, versatility, and passion for the work.
His journey from radio waves to tropical frames is ongoing — always chasing the next golden hour, the next genuine moment, and the next story told through light and lens.
