History
Established in 1941.
In 1941 when Joseph E. Cover established a photography studio. We soon settled into our downtown location; here we had our own darkrooms, processed our own film, and printed all the photographs in our lab.
In 2009 we kept up with the times and moved to our present location at 714 Scalp Avenue. Renovations began, we relocated in May 2010, & had a ribbon cutting in June 2011 celebrating 1 year in our new location.
You may no longer feel like you have stepped back in time; however, you are still stepping into an historic studio full of 75 years of professional photography experience.
Styles have changed since 1941, we have changed; but our quality remains.
From the camera room to the digital darkroom, we take great pride in bestowing upon your family a valuable heirloom. Our photographs are an investment in your family's history.
Let us help you preserve your family legacy.
Experience the Difference...the Difference is Cover Studio's Experience.
Meet the Business Owner: Park C.
Today, I am the owner of Cover Studio, but in 1963 I was the 12 year old boy who hid in the darkroom waiting to leap out and scare someone. After school dismissed, I walked to the studio, to help out in whatever way I could.
Amongst other things, I loaded film holders, processed film, and began getting behind the camera. I attended the Winona School of Professional Photography and the Triangle Institute of Professional Photography for many years. Building upon my knowledge, I studied under renowned, world-class photographers molding me into the photographer I am today.
My foremost specialty is that of Senior Portrait Artist. Another rewarding and sentimental specialty is being a Copy & Restoration Artist. I enjoy performing the work it takes to create replicas of special family photos, so they may be enjoyed for years to come. Other specialties include Custom Matting and Framing, and Team/Group/League/ Event Photographs.
