About
Debora Smail : Freelance Photographer
I am a freelance photographer who travels, specializing in Commercial, Editorial, Food, Product and Urban Textures Photography.
I currently do what I love and I came to it the long way around.
What do I know?
It's not about the destination.
It's not about living for the weekend.
It's not about the paycheck (although that helps!).
It is about the Moments:
the moments you laugh so hard your cheeks hurt...
the moments that change your impression forever...
the moments that leave you awe struck and filled with satisfaction.
How can it get any better than this--doing and living what you love!
On any given Sunday you will find me in Houston, Texas, with my laptop, camera & Chinese Pug in tow, enjoying a home cooked meal with loved ones.
