Isophotes and surface brightness distribution were obtained for the late type normal spiral galaxy NGC 7793 (morphological type SA(s)d) which is one of the Sculptor group. The calculated total luminosity $M_{T}$ is obtained as 9.44 and the corrected face on magnitude ${B_T}^{circ}$ is 9.10. The revised distance to this galaxy $Delta$=3.1 Mpc (de Vaucouleurs and Davoust 1980) is used for calculating the absolute magnitude ${M_T}^{circ}$ = -18.36. From the isophotes, the position angle to the major axis is $101^{circ}$, the mean axial ratio is q=b/a =0.65, and the inclination is i=50$^{circ}$. The concentric indices $C_{21}$=1069 and $C_{32}$ =1.50 are well agreed to the average value of Sd type galaxies.
