Bio:
Nancy Galib has been a member of NVPS since 2021. She has been taking photographs for most of her life, but much more so in the past seven or so years. She started out with a Kodak Instamatic camera when she was a teenager, moved on to a rangefinder, and then an SLR during the film–only era. But digital photography and post–production tools were game changers. It’s so much easier to experiment without the expense of getting rolls of film developed. Her photography really took off after a photo trip to Alaska in the winter of 2017 when she learned about shooting raw files and post–processing with Lightroom and Photoshop. She loves the creativity that it gives her to convey what she feels. Nancy has taken several photography trips since then to places like Yellowstone, the Southwest, and most recently, Botswana. Each trip brings new skills, new ways of seeing the world around her, and new friends. Her photography doesn’t yet have a particular style, and she is not drawn to one particular genre. She sees photography as a journey of learning, seeing, and connecting with the world around her.
