Micah E. Wood is a Baltimore-based photographer and musician originally from Newport News, Virginia. After moving to Baltimore in 2009 to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art, he quickly fell in love with the city’s vibrant art scene and discovered his passion for portrait photography.

His first book, Features (2016), celebrates Baltimore’s music scene through portraits of his favorite artists. Since then (2016-2024) Micah has continued to document bands and individuals of the microcosmic Baltimore music scene, culminating in his new 300 page photo book Scene Seen.

“This book is an archive; a cross-section of Baltimore’s vibrant, creative DIY brilliance. The photos have a musicality. They are full of color, depth, and motion, reverberating and echoing from the printed page.”

He has expanded his storytelling through editorial photography featured in The Washington Post, Inc. Magazine, Pitchfork, Baltimore Magazine, Urban Outfitters, Bandcamp and more. Micah has also had his portraiture displayed in galleries such as Creative Alliance, Maryland Art Place, and Metro Gallery.

His approach to using light as a 3-dimensional or sculptural form on the subject is a playful feature that links both his portrait and landscape work.

Micah is currently a Full-Time Freelance Photographer and a Part-Time Photography Professor at Maryland Institute College of Art.
