Third Culture is an independent publishing house and online store that features photography and photography-related accessories from around the world.

 

The brand was founded by photographer, Jean-Paul McAllan, a mixed heritage individual with roots from Rodrigues Island (Mauritius) and Australia. Jean-Paul was born in the United States but raised around the world, predominantly in Japan and Hong Kong, until age 16 - when he then moved to Melbourne, Australia, where he is now based.

 

This multi/cross-cultural background inspired him to create Third Culture as a way to reflect the diverse experiences and perspectives that come from being a "third culture kid" and his love for all things photography.

 

Third Culture aims to showcase the world through the lens of its photographers, highlighting the beauty and complexities of different cultures, sub-cultures and everything in-between. With a strong focus on independent and emerging photographers, Third Culture is dedicated to promoting and supporting artists who have a unique vision and voice.

 

“Visual expression, from everywhere and nowhere.”
