Nancy on Dyna-Lite: Nancy's power pack and strobe head of choice? The M1000XR power pack and the 2040 flash head.

"I've been using Dyna-Lites for years and love them. What attracted me to them originally was how small they were, but over the years they have proven to be such workhorses, and rarely need repairs. When they do, Dyna-Lite's turnaround time is really quick.

Of course I love the people at Dyna-Lite, after all they are like family! When I think about all the images we have made with them over the years it's really amazing."

Nancy Brown is a photographer, who ironically started on the opposite side of the camera. After modeling for 19 years,

Nancy decided to follow her heart's ambition and become a photographer. "During all the years I was modeling, photography was my big interest so becoming a photographer was a natural move."

Her client base now includes several well-known names: Maidenform, Canada Dry, Pentax, and Kodak. She also received assignments to photograph several editorial pieces for magazines such as Glamour, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan.

Nancy's photographs depict her ability to catch that spontaneous moment when the lighting (Dyna-Lites) is just right, all of the equipment (Nikon N90's, F4's, Kodak and Fuji Film) is set, and the models are cooperating.

Nancy's modeling history has given her insight as to how to make shoots productive, especially since her specialty is photographing people. In one of her three photography books, Photographing People for Advertising,

Nancy explains in detail how the photographer/model relationship can affect the shot. "If you're not good with people...even complete strangers...you won't get good pictures of them." She has also co-authored two other photography books, Photographing People for Stock, and The Beauty Nude. The Beauty Nude will be published by Silver Pixel Press and released in September 1998.

Despite Nancy's busy schedule, she still finds time to lead seminars and workshops throughout the world. She has been a featured instructor at the Maine, Appalachian, and Tahoe Photographic Workshops.

Every fall she is the hostess of a one-week, intensive photo workshop within her Manhattan studio.
