Charlie McCullers and Cecilia Montalvo are a collaborative team working in the wet plate collodion process. They began developing their work and this process together in 2017. This collaboration is about the condition of permanent change, as evinced by the dynamic nature of South Florida’s barrier islands, Ebenezer Creek, Georgia, and the other places where they work. It’s built on shared thematic and process interests. In their own ways, Charlie and Cecilia each work on the meaning of divided origins, and how mythologies of belonging operate. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia, and both hold MFA degrees in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Charlie is a native Georgian and life-long working photographer. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a BFA, and the Savannah College of Art and Design with an MA, prior to completing his MFA. Cecilia was born and raised in Miami. After graduating from the University of Virginia, she worked at The Phillips Collection, Smithsonian Magazine, and for Harvard University at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington, DC.
