I grew up in a photographic family and started working at a young age in my family's photo retail store, "Hoyer's Photo Supply, " in Williamsport, PA. My passion started when my grandfather put a camera in my hand at the age of 2. It continued through my school years, shooting for the High School Newspaper & Yearbook, then as a "Stringer, " covering high school sporting events for the local city newspaper. I graduated from RIT with a BFA in Advertising Photography and continue to work as a Commercial Advertising Photographer based in Rochester, NY.

I have been working with Walter personally for over five years and his relationship with my employer extends over ten years. Walter is not only pleasure to work with but the images he produces are excellent quality. He always makes sure we get the best shot for every product, we could not ask for a better photographer!

I contracted Walter to shoot a dozen or so product "beauty" shots of my company's extensive line of total hip replacement implants for an upcoming marketing campaign. Walter's uncanny ability to take the image in my head of how I wanted to display our products and translate it into reality was incredible. His affable manner and deep knowledge of photography is the perfect combination for anyone looking for professional product and promotional photography. I highly reccomend Walter Colley to anyone and will definately use his services in the future!

Walter is an exceptionally talented professional photographer. My company has hired him for over 10 years to take professional headshots and project photographs (buildings, bridges, plazas, etc.). His photographs are beautifully lit, and he can make the mundane look extraordinary. In addition, Walter is a pleasure to work with. He has always been flexible with his schedule and delivers a top-quality product on time. If you are looking for a photographer, look no further than Walter. You will be happy with the result!
