Slow Looking: Depth Over Speed in Documentary Photography (Live Online)

via CourseHorse

Overview

In-Person Learning

In an age of fast scrolling and fleeting moments, this intensive weekend workshop invites photographers to slow down—and look deeper. Led by acclaimed documentary photographer Jane Evelyn Atwood, this in-person experience focuses on cultivating attention, presence, and meaning in visual storytelling.

Through portfolio reviews, lectures, assignments, and one-on-one consultations (time permitting), students will explore the foundational practices behind long-term photographic projects. Jane shares insights from her own career—including the making of Too Much Time—and introduces exercises designed to foster reflection and intentional seeing.

Participants will take on a local assignment that will include two hands-on field sessions (one on Friday and one on Saturday).  During the field sessions, Jane will be available to offer personalized guidance and instruction. Journaling, feedback sessions, and group discussions will encourage deeper connection with one’s subject, process, and personal vision.

Whether you’re developing a current project or seeking a spark for something new, this workshop offers a framework for creating powerful work rooted in sustained attention and care—starting with a single moment.

This course is strictly limited to 12 students.
