Don Bell is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and visual artist. His photography focuses on amplifying the richness and complexities within communities of color while deconstructing a monolith heavily reinforced through media. His process places value on sophistication through simplicity. 

Bell’s work has been published internationally by Vogue Italia and Iconic Artist Magazine. He most recently exhibited at Hot Bed Philly’s SUMMERHOUSE exhibition and some of his solo shows include Life in Progress (World Wide Mind Gallery, Los Angeles 2014) and Cinematic Streets (Andre Allen Studio, Miami Beach, 2013).

When Bell is not shooting, he steps in front of the camera as the Sports Director and lead Sports Anchor at CBS 3 Philadelphia. Before that, he helped launch Fox Sports 1 and anchored SportsCenter and other shows on ESPN’s family of networks. Bell has been covering sports for more than a decade while shooting photography for two. He invites you to run the bases with him and enjoy the journey -- one hit at a time.

Here are a few of his remarkable photographs!
