HD Video by Corey Rich and Aurora Novus on PDN

Aurora Vice President and photographer Corey Rich was interviewed by PDN this month for an article addressing the increasing prevalence of including video with still image photo shoots.  Discussing the addition of HD video to his offered services, Corey says “It allows a single individual to create video content with a high-end production value and look yet doesn’t require a crew and equipment as was the case just six months ago.”  Using his Nikon D90, Corey shot a “test piece” in conjunction with Aurora Novus featuring his Studio Director, Blaine Deutsch to help clients to get a feel for what the camera can offer.

“I was meeting with a client and trying to explain to him about what this camera can do and I could tell there was a disconnect. So I pulled out my laptop and showed him this little movie and it was like a lightbulb went off in his head and he instantly got it.” Corey got the job, and is looking forward to creating more video in conjunction with his photo shoots. “Now I’m not just getting paid to be a still photographer, I’m also getting paid to be a visual storyteller,” he says. “Best of all, I’ve got a smile on my face because this is all super fun and exciting.”
