:: About ::
Glyn Sweets is a photographer, writer and artist living in Northern California.
Born and raised outside of Washington, D.C., she grew up in a publishing family with a deep love for art and storytelling in all forms. Her father, a former photojournalist and editor for The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and Associated Press, and mother, an educator and author, taught her about the beauty in witnessing and sharing history, and in documenting all parts of life—the large and small moments, and everything in between.
Her current work in photography focuses on large-scale landscapes, lifestyle, travel scenes and portraits, leaning into an intimacy with the natural world and places we call home.
She has a B.A. in English Literature from Stanford University, and has navigated a career as a marketing professional, writer and designer for well over a decade. She spent her early years as an international elite competitive gymnast, continuing in college as a 2-time All-American.
She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is happiest by the ocean.

Slow living. Sunrises and sunsets. Finding beauty in the everyday.
I’ve been in love with photographs for as long as I can remember. I think there’s magic in documenting moments that will never exist again, and letting people see the world through our eyes. I love that they can transport, expose truths…evoke a particular feeling.
I live for summer afternoons and winding, narrow roads that curve through overhanging trees or hug the sea. For people who skip the formalities and talk about their hopes and dreams. For thoughtfully-crafted playlists, and films that make you feel. For the passionate pursuit of things. For conversations in person. For vast places that give us perspective.
For slow Sundays that involve french toast. For the crisp light of early mornings. For art, always. For timeless stories. For learning new cities and countries. For leaving this place better than we found it. For now, the west coast is home. Currently exploring, camera (or iPhone) in hand, collecting moments as often as I can.
