The Story Behind the Lens

Hello! I’m Olaf Tennhardt, the photographer behind Glowing Frame Photography, a family, portrait, corporate and landscape photographer based in Raleigh, NC. As a storyteller and explorer, I’ve traveled across continents, weaving global influences into my photography. But it’s here in the Carolinas—among the coastal horizons, rolling foothills, and dynamic cityscapes—that I’ve found my creative home.

CAPTURING PEOPLE, BRANDS & LANDSCAPES

At Glowing Frame, I bring a storytelling-driven approach to both lifestyle and corporate photography, blending light, movement, and composition to create images that feel authentic and impactful. My work includes:

✔ Lifestyle & Family Portraits – For family portraits from the Triangle area to Carolina Beach, I focus on real moments and connections.

✔ Executive & Team Headshots – From branding sessions for entrepreneurs to professional, polished portraits designed for LinkedIn, company websites, and leadership branding.✔ Corporate Event Photography – Capturing keynotes, panel discussions, networking moments, and brand activations with a natural, documentary style across the US.✔ Fine Art Landscape Photography – Inspired by the ever-changing beauty of the Carolinas, my landscape work is available as fine art prints for collectors, homeowners, and businesses.

A PHOTOGRAPHER WITH A CORPORATE BACKGROUND

Before stepping behind the lens full-time, I spent over three decades in corporate leadership, including roles at Accenture and Deloitte. That experience gives me a unique perspective on photography—I understand presence, branding, and the importance of high-quality visuals.
