My Portfolio

Nature & Wildlife Photography + Fine Art

I'm nature + wildlife photographer + fine artist Don Orkoskey. This is my portfolio. You'll find links to my work below.

I'm exploring systems that impact us and the world we call home, especially the natural world and it's other inhabitants. As part of my exploration, I focus on systems. Those include systems we build, those that occur naturally, and those that are built by the powerful and maintained for their benefit at the expense of the needs of others and the planet.

I refuse to accept the human tendency to believe that these systems are immutable and perpetual. As such, I work to show others how wonderful our world is and to expose what threatens it. This strengthens our resolve to protect it. Plus, it empowers us to fight those who are harming it.

Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Nature & Wildlife Photography

My nature photography, like much of my other work, is focused on examining human-made and natural system and their impact on the world. I love to photograph conservation issues to expose others to what is happening around them. To see my commercial photography work please visit WDOphoto.com.

Fine Art Photography

In addition to my nature photography work I do fine art photography as well as commercial photography, portraits, and more over at WDOphoto.com. I also teach a variety of photography courses and offer private lessons for those wanting to improve their photography skills.

My Other Artwork

Through performance and other art I have examined how systems designed by others or ourselves impact us and the planet. I've collaborated with other artist to explore how new and better systems can be created and to ask how children can be trusted with solving complex problems.
