Nancy Lee Andrews 
Nancy Lee Andrews is a former international model turned world-class photographer and is one of the most respected shooters working in Nashville today.
Andrews was on the other side of the camera for years, working as a
Ford model for some of the greatest photographers of the '60s and
'70s. They included Richard Avedon, Dick Ballerian, Irving Penn, Hiro
and Milton Greene, who recognized in an instant that Andrews had a burning desire to click the shutter.
“He handed me a Nikon camera and said, 'Try it and see what happens,'” Andrews recalls.
“From the first roll of film I was hooked on the process to capture the moment. The moment is never the same and people are the most fascinating subjects on earth. I love what I do.”
Thus began her career on the other side of the camera.
Encouraged by former Beatle Ringo Starr, with whom she shared her life for six years, Andrews began shooting fashion assignments for designer boutiques along Rodeo Drive and trendy Melrose Avenue. She branched quickly into the music business, snapping photos of legendary artists such as George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, The Band, Keith Moon, Ted Nugent, Carl Perkins, Edgar Winter, Bernie Taupin, Greg and Duane Allman, Leon Russell, Glen Campbell, Donovan, Arlo Guthrie, Dr. John, Ron Wood, Hoyt Axton, Harry Nilson, Sonny Bono and Dolly Parton. This in addition to her duties assembling publicity and photo packages for two Ringo Starr albums –Ringo the 4th and Bad Boy.
Andrews moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1994 and opened her photography studio the following year. In 1996 she was appointed director of photography for a high concept magazine called Twang, a Vanity Fair take on country music. Featuring Andrews' stunning pictorials of country’s stars and most interesting people, Twang was distributed by Time Warner. Applauded by critics, fans and stars, Andrews' work showed her unique vision, extreme originality and precision of execution. As a result, Twang helped country music break out of its stereotype and gain a response from a previously untapped national audience that was hip, affluent and country.
Among the many country artists Andrews has worked are Big & Rich,
Martina McBride, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Brad Paisley, Reba McEntire, LeeAnn Womack, JoDee Messina, Dwight Yoakum, Lonestar, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker. In addition to CD packages and promotional photography for major labels, her work has appeared in and on the covers of McCall’s, USA Today, JAZZIZ, Penthouse, Black Enterprise, Music Row and several other music publications. She also shoots for many advertising agencies.
