Jane Fulton Alt (born May 26, 1951) is an American photographer who explores issues of love, loss, and spirituality in her work.
She bridged her professions in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina when she accompanied residents of the Lower Ninth Ward to examine the damage to their houses as part of the "Look and Leave" program organized by the City of New Orleans and the American Red Cross.
Alt's Katrina work culminated with the publication of her own book, Look and Leave: Photographs and Stories from New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward, [6] in 2009.
The book received critical acclaim and was featured on 89.9 WWNO,[7] NPR's New Orleans affiliate, and Chicago Tonight's "Arts Across Illinois" segment.
[9] Alt has had solo exhibitions in Chicago (Chicago Cultural Center, Artemisia Gallery, Flatfile Gallery, Fourth Presbyterian Church,[10] Depaul University Art Museum, Morton College, Art Chicago), San Francisco (Corden/Potts Gallery), Poland (International Festival of Photography)[11] and Syria (International Photography Festival).
