ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Glenn Rand has taught and administered in public
education, community colleges, and universities since
1996. Since 2001 he has taught in the graduate program
at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, where he serves
as acting graduate program chairman. In conjunction
with these academic roles and consulting he has devel-
oped and reorganized several curricula for fine art pho-
tography, commercial photography, digital imaging, and
allied curricula. His teaching has included courses in
lighting, as well as commercial and fine art photography.
He received his bachelors degree and master of arts
from Purdue University. He earned a doctorate from the
University of Cincinnati, centering on the psychology of
educational spaces, and did post-doctoral research as a
visiting scholar at the University of Michigan. Since the
early 1980s, his extra-academic research has included
computer-based imaging.
As a consultant, Rand’s clients have included the Ford
Motor Company, Photo Marketing Association Inter-
national, the Ministry of Education of Finland, and many
other businesses and several colleges. As part of his con-
sulting for the Eastman Kodak Company, he traveled and
lectured on how to maximize Tmax films when they were
first released.
Black & white photographs by Glenn Rand are held
in the collections of thirty public museums in the United
States, Europe, and Japan and are widely exhibited. His
photographs have also been published in editorial, illus-
trative, and advertising functions.
He has published and lectured extensively about pho-
tography and digital imaging, covering topics ranging
from commercial aesthetics to the technical fine points
of lighting. He is the author of numerous books and con-
tributes regularly to various periodicals, such as Range-
finder magazine, of which he is a contributing editor.
