Jane Evelyn Atwood was born in New York and has been living in France since 1971. Her work translates the profound intimacy she establishes with her subjects over long periods of time. Fascinated by people and by the idea of exclusion, she manages to penetrate worlds that most of us ignore or choose to ignore. She is the author of fifteen books, including a monographe in the prestigious Photo Poche collection, and Too Much Time, Women in Prison, the monumental ten-year undertaking that remains today a reference for female incarceration, and will be re-published in 2025. Rue des Lombards, her first story on Parisien prostitutes; Pigalle People, the transgenders of a red-light district in Paris; or DARYA, a Ukranian woman who cares for the elderly in Italy are only some of her other books. Her latest, HORSES, just published in France, is completely different from anything she’s ever done before. She has won many of the most prestigious international awards including the first W. Eugene Smith Award, Leica's Oskar Barnack Award, an Alfred Eisenstadt Prize and the Ernst Haas Award. In 2022 the Minstère de la Culture in France bestowed upon her the title of Officier des Arts et des Lettres.  Her images have been exhibited internationally and may be found in private and public collections.  In France Jane Evelyn Atwood is represented by the gallery, In Camera.

In the 1990s, he started working on borders and crossings, photographing the inhabitants of the "Green Line" in Cyprus, the irregular migrants on the Greek-Albanian borderline, and the mass migration of ethnic Albanians fleeing Kosovo. In the mid-1990s, he started photographing the Roma and other minorities. In 2000 he completed a book project on the Aegean islands storytellers, commissioned by the University of the Aegean. A retrospective of his work titled "Economopoulos, Photographer" was published in 2002, and later exhibited at the Benaki Museum, Athens. Subsequently, he returned to Turkey to pursue his long-term personal project on the country, where he received the Abdi Ipektsi award (2001), for peace and friendship between Greek and Turkish  people.
