In Episode 018 of Exposures Jason Howe reflects on the kind of work that has defined his career: slow, proximity-based photography built through time, trust, and sustained presence. He speaks about his early years traveling through Latin America, his long engagement with conflict photography in Colombia and Afghanistan, and his belief that meaningful images are rarely made in haste. Rather than chasing breaking news, Howe describes a practice shaped by immersion—living in places, returning over years, and preserving his creative energy for work that feels necessary.
The conversation also turns to ethics, responsibility, and what photography owes the people it depends on. Howe speaks candidly about the limits of documentary impact, the importance of treating subjects with dignity, and his discomfort with the one-way extraction that so often underpins image-making. That same sensibility shapes his current long-term project in rural Spain, where he is documenting disappearing ways of life as a record for future generations.
Exposures 018 is Hosted by TOTIM Founder/ Director Luke Mertz
Jason P. Howe
Jason Howe is an internationally recognized photojournalist whose work has taken him from the front lines of conflict in Colombia, Iraq, and Afghanistan to the remote high plateaus of the Pamirs and into rarefied political environments at the highest levels of power. Known for operating with precision and credibility in complex, high-risk settings, he has built a body of work defined by access, range, and sustained visual authority.
His photographs have appeared in many of the world’s most respected publications, including The New York Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Le Figaro, and Rolling Stone. His work has also been exhibited internationally in both solo and group exhibitions and presented through festival screenings, reflecting a career that has moved fluently between journalism, documentary practice, and the broader cultural sphere.
TOTIM is a new, nonprofit initiative built to support and amplify a global and diverse community of visual storytellers. We rely on your support to bring under-reported stories to light and sustain vital, independent documentary photography. Please consider a charitable, tax-deductible gift.
