About Nancy Basmann
My interest in photography began as a teenager in Brooklyn, a short train-ride away from Manhattan’s Museum of Modern Art with its large collection of urban photography. Years later, having earned a doctorate in Urban Studies, and held various professorships, I joined my husband, himself an amateur photographer and an academic, in Vestal NY. Rather than remain an adjunct at the local university, I switched to photography, gaining in 2013-2015 accreditation from the New York Institute of Photography and from Professional Photographers of America Certification and a Master Degree. Before the death of my husband in 2024, I ran a small photography studio in portraiture and architecture. My major work involves character studies of “down-and-outs” in the city and historic architecture, with an approach that is photo-realistic within the confines of artistic rendering. I am proud to have participated in two Museum Projects of the American Society of Photographers.
