Elaine Nord is a fine art photographer in Jupiter, Florida. With several jury awards for her prints, she uses her love of action and textures in her work. Early in her career, as a female sports photographer, Elaine broke barriers by photographing sports teams and individual athletes at the amateur and professional levels. Her images were often published and featured in print and online. At the 2024 NETRF Research Symposium, Elaine spoke about her experience as a neuroendocrine cancer patient and used her photography to illustrate her journey. “I was moved by the number of researchers who took the time to talk to me about my presentation and how it resonated with them,” she said. Ms. Nord also serves on the Board of Directors for Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the largest no-kill and cage-free dog shelter in the United States located in Florida.
