Jan Kapoor has been involved in fine art photography for many years, her primary interests being landscape, natural abstraction and still life. She prints extensively in alternative processes including cyanotype and platinum/palladium. Digital technology is another important creative tool in her work. Kapoor uses medium and large format cameras, and has been drawn to specialize in pinhole imagery for the past several years. She finds that pinhole is most expressive of the imperceptible passage of time, making visible that which is invisible to the ordinary eye, and of the mystery of non-human life which surrounds us.

Kapoor's artistic expression has been greatly enhanced by her fine arts background, which includes studies in painting at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston; a two-year program in fine art photography at the Southeastern Center for Photographic Arts; and completion of a Bachelor of Fine Arts summa cum laude in photography at Georgia State University. In addition, she cites influences on her work such as Clarence John Laughlin, Julia Margaret Cameron and John McWilliams, among many others.

Kapoor exhibits her work extensively: locally, nationally and internationally. Her work is in private collections throughout the world, and is also in several private and corporate collections in the United States. She has published several books of her work, including The Intertidal World; Camera Obscura; Japan: A Visual Journal; and Ossabaw Island.
