Nina was born in Panama City, Panama. Her family immigrated to the the United States before her 6th birthday. Growing up in the mountains of Upstate New York gave her beautiful backdrops which she loved to photograph even at an early age. While studying at Columbia University, her love for faces and expressions grew. She enrolled in photography as a fun distraction and has been developing her art ever since. As you look through her images, you will see her love for "beautiful things". Whether it may be an object or face, it has a story to tell.
