Nancy Ney

As one of New York City’s most sought after advertising and lifestyle photographers for decades, Nancy Ney has won multiple industry awards, including the Clio. In 2013, her artistic focus shifted and, having honed her craft to a fine art, began traveling the world photographing special situations and unique themes that interested her. Humanity portraits set in exotic geographical regions as well as natural landscapes that possess a singular sense of beauty have become her hallmark.

India, Mexico, Ethiopia, Bhutan, Galapagos, Iceland,Costa Rica, Kenya and Nepal are just some of the countries where she has “gotten the shot.” Her international images have won numerous awards, including First Prize at the ipa Family of Man 2016. She has exhibited in the Coral Gables Museum, and most recently displayed a collection of large metal photographic prints at Spectrum in the Design District during Art Basel 2018: and will soon have large photos on display in the American Airlines Terminal at MIA.

Nancy lives in Miami and is an exhibitor in many of South Florida’s fine art fairs. To view her full portfolio, visit nancyney.com.

“I first began shooting because the experience of photographing people was a way of gettng to know them and saving the experience. It made me feel really alive. Then, during my long advertising career,it became a terrific way to solve creative challenges. But still there was always, underneath, the element of wonderment.

Now, as I travel and meet people from different cultures, who kindly allow me into their homes and environments, I am filled with awe as I look through the lens. Sometimes it feels like I’m just sketching elements of personal history as I’m shooting — until the shot suddenly appears. That’s when the shutter really goes to work!
