Artist Profile

Nancy first began her interest in photography while in high school. Being part of a film and video club, her interest and appreciation for the visual medium began to grow, and it was only natural that she fell into photography.

Inspired by photographers like Dorothea Lang and Terry Richardson, and even indirectly by films and comic books, Nancy always kept an open mind for composition and how she could capture the world around her.

While her studies in university lead to a degree in Sociology, she always selected elective courses that were art related, such as an introductory photography class. This helped develop her technical skills and the class critiques helped shape her work and style.

After a short hiatus from her photos due to not having the proper equipment outside of school, Nancy’s photography really picked up as digital cameras began to mature. A good friend of hers encouraged her to invest in a digital SLR. They bounced ideas around and she learned a lot about the technical aspect of how to operate the camera and to achieve the most out of her photos technically. Her appreciation for composition and technique both benefitted from these tutorials, and helped her further develop the style she has today.
