About the Artists

We have shared a passion for travel for over twenty years. In 2005, we combined that passion with our love of photography to create McCollum Photography.

Specializing in fine art photography, we travel the world taking photographs that capture the subtle nuances of the towns that we visit. Our current body of work includes images from 14 countries.

Our work is focused (no pun intended!) on the intimate details. When choosing a subject or theme, we usually let the landscape lead us where it will – though we also look for specific things. Unique shapes, textures and colors either manmade or natural always attract us. We love to look for landscapes that have a sense of movement in them – a curving river or a winding staircase composed in a way that brings the viewer into the scene.

Our work is digitally produced in our home studio using an Epson R2400 printer on heavy weight specialty photo paper with archival quality ultra-chrome inks. Each image is then dry mounted and matted using 100% acid free archival quality matte board. Framed pieces are set behind conservation clear UV glass.

Thank you for taking an interest in our work.
