Virginia native Glen McClure developed a passion for photography when he got his first camera at age 19.  Largely self-taught, McClure has worked as an advertising photographer in the old port city of Norfolk for three decades, while extensively exhibiting his own work. His most recent work includes portraits made in Umbria, Italy’s “green heart.” McClure is also known for his landscape photography, primarily of Ireland, Italy, and Virginia, and black-and-white portraits of people encountered “on the street” throughout Virginia.

McClure’s recognition of the visual beauty present in the mundane is a powerful part of his art and one he shares with Czechoslovakian artist Josef Sudek, whose work he admires.

Glen McClure’s work is held in many collections, including The Polaroid Collection, The Chrysler Museum and The Art Museum of Western Virginia.
