Nina Fuller is a Maine-based photographer, writer, counselor, and sheep farmer whose career spans more than five decades. Known for her evocative images of animals, landscapes, and rural life, Nina creates much of her work from her farm and carriage-house studio in Hollis, Maine. Her fine art photography often captures moments of stillness and natural light within the daily rhythm of farm life, bringing visual poetry to the textured reality of wool, wood, and pasture. Nina’s formal training includes an AFA in Printmaking from Silvermine College of Art, a BA in Fine Art from George Washington University, and an MA in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Equine Assisted Mental Health and Photography Therapy from Prescott College. She is the creator of Equine Assisted Photography Therapy (EAPT), a therapeutic workshop model that combines visual storytelling with equine interaction to help participants process personal challenges. She teaches EAPT and photography workshops on her property, inviting others to see the world in new, mindful ways. Her commercial work is equally accomplished. Over the years, Nina has photographed U.S. Presidents and First Ladies—including the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas—and has produced campaigns for major brands such as L.L. Bean, Lands’ End, Dover Saddlery, Friendly’s, Johnny’s Selected Seeds, and international tourism boards. Her travel and equestrian photography has appeared in publications including National Geographic Traveler, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Practical Horseman, and Maine Sunday Telegram. Her work reflects a deep reverence for nature, animals, and the peaceful moments within chaos. As Nina explains, "There is peace within the chaos—the sheep, the light in the barn, the feeling that this could be 200 years ago." Whether photographing a running lamb, a quiet flower, or a collapsing fence, Nina captures more than just image—she reveals emotion, texture, and timeless presence. Her current projects include artist residencies, therapeutic retreats, and a portrait series known as the Blue Bench Project, inspired by her gratitude rituals on the farm.
