Nancy Lee Andrews

Nancy Lee Andrews was on the other side of the camera for years, working as a Ford model for some of the greatest photographers of the 1960s and 1970s. They included Richard Avedon, Dicl Ballerian, Irving Penn, Bert Stern, Hiro, and Milton Greene, who recognized that Andrews had a burning desire to click the shutter.

Encouraged by former Beatle Ringo Starr, Andrews began shooting fashion assignments for designer boutiques along  Rodeo Drive and trendy Melrose Avenue on Los Angeles.. She branched quickly into the music business, snapping photos of many rock performers as well as shooting publicity and photo packages for two of Starr’s albums –Ringo the 4th, and Bad Boy. 

Andrews moved to Nasheville, TN  in 1994 and opened her photography studio in Cummins Station the following year.
