About/CV
Jacob Woodyard was born and raised in West Virginia and moved to Pittsburgh in 2020 to pursue a Fine art degree in photography. Throughout this time, he has immersed himself in various aspects of photography, striving to broaden his skill set and artistic vision. This endeavor has steered him towards the creation of art through his photographic lens. Hailing from West Virginia, where fine art photography was not a conventional career path, Jacob's introduction to the field unfolded organically and sincerely. His path to photography has created a deep appreciation for the art form, guiding him towards photography being the core of his creative intent.
