Debra Schell Photography

I’m Deb Schell, a Harrisburg-based professional photographer. During a trip with my grandfather in Alaska, is the first time I realized I wanted to learn more about the magic of photography at the age of 16. Back in the days of film, dark rooms, and bracketing.

I decided to go to school to focus on learning the art of capturing a moment in time as a photojournalist and worked in the industry at various news publications from 2005-2015.

Now I enjoy photographing my local musician and theatre friends in addition to local landscape and architecture.

I also work to promote peace with Peace Day Philly, a nonprofit organization I became involved with after participating in PDP events on the International Day of Peace in 2013. You can learn more about my work with PDP on my blog, Images4Peace.

In 2012 I began exhibiting my photographs. Check out my art exhibit website for gallery exhibition information. I’m a big supporter for local business, and participate in 3rd in the Burg. Check out where my work will be on my site and let me know if you’d like to have one of my pieces in your home, office, or business.
