About WDO Photography
Up until 2007 W. Donald Orkoskey ran WDO Photography as a sole proprietor. In early 2008, after a steady year of growth the business was incorporated as an LLC. The company utilizes several highly qualified photographer’s assistants as well as two highly skilled secondary photographers for special event and wedding photography.
WDO Photography is a young company but W. Donald Orkoskey has been working as a photographer in the Pittsburgh area for over 12 years. He has a degree in photography from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and spent additional time training with several top photographers in and around western PA and has taken additional classes at Pittsburgh Film Makers, Point Park College, (now Point Park University), and The University of Pittsburgh.
The business has continued to grow and to profit adding more commercial clients including several interior design clients.
Arts Documentation
In 2009 Don began to document the growing Pittsburgh art scene, a cause that he is passionate about. Starting in 2009 WDO Photography began providing visual artists with an affordable choice for professional documentation of their work. To date several area artists have utilized WDO Photography to capture their latest works, to photography gallery openings featuring their work, and to help them create bold and eye-catching marketing materials that they can use to land future shows, to include in press releases, and to advertise their skills.
Looking Forward
WDO Photography saw moderate growth in fiscal 2009 even with the economic downturn and shifting market conditions. To achieve this same level of growth in 2010 WDO Photography has continued to aggressively seek more commercial clients. Clients wishing to know more about WDO Photography’s growth potential and the possibility of investment are encouraged to contact WDO Photography.
In the first half of 2010 WDO Photography has taken on new clients from as far away as Wyoming. Don has built a solid relationship with the Hardy County West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and is currently in talks with representatives of the Convention and Visitors Bureau in Hardy County about contracting to work with them.
Work in the Mountain State is picking up as Don is proud to have been selected to photograph a marketing campaign for the onsite healthcare vendor at the WV Bureau of Prisons which means that Don is going to prison to photograph the campaign. Most people are not very happy when they go to prison but to be asked to take photographs behind bars is an honor. It’s also very serious and very sensitive with lots of restrictions on what can and cannot be photographed. This isn’t a problem for Don and his team who have been hired to photograph in highly sensitive areas such as museums and other restricted access sites.
Photographers Representitive
As WDO Photography builds the number of commercial clients there is some expectation that W. Donald Orkoskey will look for professional representation. If you are a professional photographers representative looking to build your offerings in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and Northern West Virginia, you are encouraged to contact WDO Photography.
