Behind the lens
Deborah Sibanda
Portrait and event photographer · Seattle
“The best photographs are born from genuine connections.”
Deborah has photographed our community’s biggest days. Her style blends documentary and artistic photography: the candid laugh, the elder at the marimba, the flag in the dance circle, each one a story waiting to be told.
