Local Photographer’s Work
Goes to International Exhibition
Richard Cox of Orchid
Hill Studios is honored by peers and jurors for high-quality photography.
Raleigh, NC January 14,
2013
Photographs created
by Richard Cox Orchid Hill Studios in Raleigh have recently been accepted into
the General Collection of Professional Photographers of America’s
2012 International Photographic Competition. Cox’ work will be on display at
the Georgia World Congress Center, January 20-22, 2013, in Atlanta, Ga. This International
Photographic Exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual
convention and expo for professional
photographers and several photographic associations.
A panel of 43 eminent
jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from nearly 5,000
total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged
against a standard of excellence, just over 1,800 images were selected for the
General Collection and just 476 (about 10 percent) were selected for the
esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will
all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book, and over 200
selected
General Collection images
will be published in the “Showcase” book by Marathon Press.
Titled Blue Ridge After
the Storm, Cox’s photograph will be in the International Photographic
Exhibition alongside other top photographic works from the competition and
traveling and special invitational displays. These images constitute one of the
world’s largest annual exhibits of professional photography gathered
simultaneously under one roof.
