Debi does a wonderful job of breaking down the elements of landscape photography!  She encourages class participation and provides the opportunity to discuss photos taken by her students.  I found her class to be extremely informative and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking greater knowledge in landscape photography.   -S Beatty

This was a dream come true for me! Love Debi and am eager to get back down that way to go shoot with her!!

Debi Parnell is an award-winning fine art photographer whose images have been featured in publications such as Only in Alabama, Alabama the Beautiful, This is Alabama, and recently, the cover of Mobile Bay Magazine. For four years, she has been teaching landscape photography classes in a gallery and guided photography sessions on location in Daphne and Fairhope. In 2022, after receiving repeated requests for an online class, she developed a version of these photography classes for those who were not local or who preferred a virtual class. Debi grew up in Mobile, Alabama, but now makes her home in Baldwin County, Alabama. An outdoor enthusiast, Debi loves beholding the wonders of creation!  She enjoys spending time in the woods, in fields, and especially on the water. Debi is not only passionate about capturing beautiful images, but about sharing them with others, as well. She wants them to behold the “wonder”, too!
