Graham Washatka is a commercial photographer based in Wisconsin. Fueled by a childhood interest for photography, he learned the basics while working alongside photojournalists at his local newspaper through high school. After dropping out from Ohio University's PhotoJ program and a detour into the trucking industry, he returned to his passion, using the photojournalistic foundation to build a successful commercial photography business. 2024 is now his seventh year of self employment.
He also recently founded a non-profit photograph organization, Photo Opp, alongside John Adams and Mark Ferrell. The organization has a large studio, event space, and darkroom in a newly renovated 100-year-old synagogue. The organization hosts events, including photography workshops, photo walks, film development nights, and gallery shows.
