Slow photography

Slow photography is a contemporary movement that prioritizes the process and experience of taking photos over the work of documentation.

[citation needed] The concept was defined by David Campany in his 2003 essay "Safety in Numbness: Some remarks on the problems of ‘Late Photography.’"[2] Campany uses the example of the post-9/11 photography of Joel Meyerowitz, later published in Aftermath to demonstrate the importance of photography for public memory.

[5] Seines Svendsen describes her process in "The Slow Photography – In Motion," published in Through a Glass, Darkly, a photography collection, in January 2013 in collaboration with the North Norwegian Art Center, The Arts Council of Norway, and the Norwegian Photographical Fund.
