Jane Fulton Alt

Jane Fulton Alt is an American photographer whose work explores themes of loss, transformation, and the human condition. Originally trained as a clinical social worker, she began her artistic practice later in life, bringing a deeply personal and reflective approach to photography.

Her projects often respond to major life events and environments, from documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Look and Leave to exploring cycles of destruction and renewal in The Burn. She is a three-time winner of Photolucida’s Critical Mass and has received awards such as the Photo District News Curator’s Choice Award and the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship.

Alt’s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in major collections including the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She lives and works between Evanston, Illinois, and New Orleans, continuing to develop long-term projects shaped by both personal experience and the natural world. (Website, Instagram)
