“Helen S. Schwartz captures the heart and soul of America's past and present through her camera's lens, bringing history alive in her photographs.”
- Bernadette Loeffel-Atkins author/lecturer

I am a professional photographer for over 29 years.

I currently specialize in historical landscape photography. I have photographed for the Civil War News. I self published two photographic journey books that are found on this web site. Both books are approved and on sale at many National Parks Book Stores. I insist that all of my products are completely made bound and printed in the U.S.A. My photographs have been featured in books by Gettysburg historian Timothy H. Smith and author/lecturer Bernadette Loeffel-Atkins. I have also worked professionally photographing musical performers, children, children's ballet. portraits and nature scenes and harness racing. Much of my theater work has been published both domestically and internationally. My educational background includes a degree from the Antonelli School of Photography located near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Gail and I have been blessed to have met and worked with some of the most wonderful and fascinating people in our travels throughout the United States. Our journeys have led us to both big cities and small towns, all educational and eye-opening learning experiences.

I am an Integrated Energy Therapy® master Instructor as well as a Reiki II practitioner. This training has been invaluable in assisting me while pursuing my photography career. My photographs and products are non- judgmental, educational, thought provoking, entertaining, practical and respectful of all of those whose stories I tell. I hope that they will inspire you and lead you to a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself and your connection to the world. Also to support the Preservation of our Battlefields, National Historic Sites and National Parks.

Gail originally suggested selling Helen's photographs and Artistry in Photography was formed. Her numerous years of management and bookkeeping experience coupled with her keen business sense is an integral part of the company. Gail has a quick mind and a heightened sense of order. She arranged and designed the set-up for the art shows and her connections initiated the building of this website. She is involved in the production of many of our items from start to finish, from driving the car to assisting and participating on photographic jobs and then working on finishing products, coordinating, organizing, and initial editing and design.  Both in the office and out on the field on photography shoots and at business meetings, Gail's expertise, personable disposition, and her ability to manage the office and be part of the creative process has made our ventures successful.
