About Debbie – deborahterry.com

Photographer
Videographer
Producer & Creative Director

Born in Washington, DC, Deborah Terry’s career as a professional photographer has spanned over 30 years. In the early 1990s, she moved to New York City to pursue that career, focusing her creative energy in fashion photography. She made the leap to the music industry, photographing Hip Hop and R&B artists for various record labels in NYC.

Her photographic career took a completely different turn when she participated in missions to Liberia and Darfur for Refugees International a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC. Exposing herself to a self-fulfilling journey she used her artistic vision to capture the desperate plight of refugees and impoverished people revealing the resilient and enduring inner-beauty that lies beneath the hardship of their daily life.

Deborah is Vice President and Creative Director for International Lifeline Fund (Lifeline) – a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization. Lifeline seeks to “help people help themselves, through innovative and cost-effective interventions.” Our projects provide clean water and fuel-efficient stove programs that have profoundly improved the quality of life for over 500,000 displaced and impoverished people in Africa and Haiti.

In 2017 Deborah channeled her picturesque vision into the television industry. She is the Founder and Creative Director as well as the producer, videographer writer, editor, and photographer of each episode of Beauty Inside Out (BIO).

I’m not one to write reviews, but I just had to in this case. "I was looking for a photographer to shoot my cosmetic line. It was changeling to find the right fit. A friend of mine told me that I should give Deborah Terry a call, because she has had work done by her and she was very satisfied. I gave her a call and her creative brain just went to work. She is amazing! You will not go wrong with her."
