Nothing beats the energy of a live music performance! Whether it be a brightly colored festival, an underground metal show, or an acoustic kickback around the fire I am here to capture what it's like to experience your music first hand. I aim to show the world what it is like to hear your art by isolating the strong emotions felt by you and your audience into snapshots of a night worth remembering.

I am a music photographer based in Portland Oregon. I enjoy bands of any genre but metal, funk and blues music are my jam! I have been in love with the lens since I first got my hands on a camera. I discovered my love for live concert photography four years ago and have been immersing myself in the fast paced high energy environment ever since learning to work with the bands, lighting designers and others who contribute the ultimate product of a live show to be sure that I capture the highlights of your performance.

Great photographer! Woody did both my son and daughter's senior pictures and met with us prior so that he could get a feel for their personality and interests. He made it fun and neither one felt awkward. I've also had a friend hire him for their wedding and those photos were outstanding as well. Will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Woody is an absolute GEM to work with. He is extremely talented and professional. He listens to his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. He is passionate, funny, kind and gifted. His turnaround time is quick and his work is excellent. Whatever type of photography you are looking for, Woody is phenomenal. Don't settle for less than the best. I highly recommend Woody at Forte Photography.

Woody is such a pleasure to work with! I always feel awkward getting my picture taken (especially multiple times!), but he makes it easy and fun and knows exactly what to tell you to capture great posing, lighting, and angles. His photo editing is just enough to get the perfect colors and moods, but not enough to take away from the organic beauty of the subject(s). I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality photos and a great time.

Woody was great to work with! We had 15 people in our family to be photographed. He was patient and professional. He then took photos of each individual family. The photos were so good we have a hard time choosing our favorites. We also had 9 children raging from 5 months old to 16 years old and he was great with them too (kids can be hard to photograph). Call him today! You won't regret it.

Forte Photography is an adventurous experience! Woody captured my daughter, Lani, through her older teenage years! Photo memories I will cherish forever! He allowed Lani to share her athletic side, creative side, soft / subtle dress up side, the craft of beautiful hair and make up (designed by several Western North Carolina make up / hair artist ) in turn this experience is one through the years to help give her confidence in herself which played a role in the young woman she has grown into today! I would highly recommend Forte Photography capturing your moments through his eye of professional photography!
