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.

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.
