AN EYE FOR
THE IMAGE.
A FEEL FOR
THE STORY.

I’m Connor Patterson, a professional concert, tour and resort photographer based in Portland, Oregon. As the founder and creative director of CNOR PHOTO, I photograph live music, live events, touring artists, hotels, resorts and products. My concert photography work includes iHeartMedia. I’m available for Portland events and tour coverage across the United States.

Direct artist commissions include Imagine Dragons, Jimmy Eat World and AJR. My Imagine Dragons partnership goes back to 2017, with full-show assignments across multiple tour legs and years. For Jimmy Eat World, the brief also included contracted backstage and behind-the-scenes content.

More than a decade in photography and over eight years in marketing shape the way I work. I’m thinking about the photograph in front of me—and how the complete story will be used.

That might mean the moment a room comes alive, the pace of a resort morning or a product doing what it was made to do. The setting changes. The attention stays.
