Animoto Video - Band Together After Work Social 15

Here is a special fusion video we put together for the Band Together After Work Social featuring Lizzy Ross that was held at the Southland Ballroom in Raleigh NC.

A fusion video combines still images with HD video to create a really cool production. We now shoot 1080p video with our high resolution digital images.

These videos are one of our feature products at Orchid Hill Studios and Rich Cox Photographics. Not only do they make a unique way to feature an event or wedding, but they are an eye-catching way to present your business, band or property.

Band Together for Alliance Medical

One of the charity organizations I heartily support is Band Together NC. I've been shooting their main events with my son, Andy, every spring. This year, Band Together has set the big hairy audacious goal of raising $500,000 for Alliance Medical of Raleigh. Next year, the recipient will be Urban Ministries (where I work and volunteer).

Take some time to get to know Band Together and attend the Last Band Standing at the Lincoln Theatre on April 8. Then buy a VIP ticket for the Main event on May 7, featuring Third Eye Blind.

Here's a shot from our Band Together After Work Social last night at the Southland Ballroom. It's a shot of the Lizzy Ross Band in the mirror over the bar.

Professional Photographers of America - Raleigh NC

This video explains the reasons why you should hire a Professional Photographer when planning you important portraits and events. Professional Photographers are members of PPA. In North Carolina, they are also members of Professional Photographers of NC (PPNC) and Southeastern Professional Photographers (SEPPA).

I am a member and have recently attended educational seminars at the PPNC Convention. Through the PPNC I've trained under Tim Kelly, Don and Nancy Emmerich , and Fuller Royal.

Relaxing - NC Beach Portraits

I got a weekend off and we went to Wrightsville Beach for some relaxation and a beach fix. It was a picture perfect day! It reminded me that it's never too soon to start thinking about some portraits at the beach!
