Nancy LeVine

Welcome!          

First and foremost,  I have been enamored with photography since I was 5 years old when my father introduced me to this ‘magical’ art form. My world of photography continues to be a labor of love and I am so fortunate to have been spending my life giving visual voice in 'recognition of the other'.  

You might be curious - I am an award winning photographer who has traveled worldwide on a variety of assignments. My book ‘Senior Dogs Across America’ has been featured on The Today Show, Oprah.com, The New York Times LENS Blog, The Huffington Post, Boston Globe, BBC, Lens Culture and numerous other media around the world. A solo show of this work opened at the Houston Center for Photography. My dog photography was selected for the book 'Really Good DOG Photography', an anthology featuring the best dog photography in the world.  My first book, ‘A Dog’s Book of Truths’, is printed in black and white and offers meaningful aphorisms to go along with the photographs. The New Britain Museum of American Art has my work in their collection.

I love Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an organization I support that has devoted its heart and resources to the rescue and care of baby elephant orphans found alone and in dire need in the wild. I have 6 adopted orphans. The babies are cared for and nurtured upwards of 10 years, each year bringing them closer to being able to return to their wild life. In addition, Sheldrick has teams to treat onsite medical issues of wild elephants and other wildlife. Their projects involve anti- poaching and saving habitats and so much more.  Based in Kenya, there have been tremendous challenges brought on by the longer drought seasons.  I recently visited Ithumba Reintegration Unit and hope you enjoy the images I have created.  I hope to return soon and continue this work.

My photographs have appeared in numerous publications such as L’Officiel de la Couture (Paris), Vogue, and The New York Times and they have been presented in gallery shows in New York, Seattle, Houston and Los Angeles. On assignment, my clients have included PBS, Starbucks, and Seattle Children’s Hospital.  

I look forward to giving you the ‘first look’ at my developing encaustic practice that involves photography, wax, and pastels. 

Enjoy the gallery and let me know if I can answer any questions! Call, text, email!
