A Photographic Life - 128: Plus Nancy Borowick

In episode 128 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering PHD's in photography, yet more 'pay to play' scams, and photography's response to social distancing.  Plus this week photographer Nancy Borowick takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which she answer’s the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?’ Nancy Borowick is an internationally renowned photographer, author, teacher and speaker, delivering over 50 speaking engagements each year around the world, bringing her personal story to universities, hospitals, oncology units and community groups globally. Nancy is a graduate of the International Center of Photography and has exhibited her work in over 100 cities.

She is a Sony Artisan of Imagery and in 2019 was invited to become a Kickstarter Thought Leader.  Over the last decade, Nancy has narrowed the focus of her work, telling stories of health, struggle and personal relationships, using compassion, humility and trust as tools to connect with and explore the lives of her subjects.
