Part of our job at GRCVB, specifically in the Marketing and Communications Department, is to create and maintain the destination photo/video library. Over the last 15+ years, we have accumulated more than 30,000 images and videos of Wake County, of area hospitality business partners and venues, of events and points of interest.

Some image assets are rights-protected (we have licensed them from the photographer for CVB promotional use only). Still, many are licensed to be shared with clients, meeting planners, the media and stakeholders whenever they are representing Raleigh and Wake County.

As our partners in tourism, you can access our digital assets if you need images to promote your property, business or organization as part of our destination's larger story being shared with visitors. We maintain the asset library digitally through a resource called the Visit Raleigh Studio on barberstock.com. It is easy for you to access the library by creating an account and telling us how you intend to use the photos:

• Go to this link: https://raleigh.barberstock.com.
• Select "Don’t have an account yet? Register Now," and from there fill out a registration page. 
• Under the drop-down selection for "Please indicate the nature of your request," choose Non-Media and the kind of assets desired (Photos, Video/B-Roll or both).
• Those registrations are sent to GRCVB design manager Amber Harmon; she soon can approve your access.

The online Visit Raleigh Studio is an excellent resource for you to showcase area attractions/more reasons for your customers to make or extend a trip to the Raleigh area (pairing your online marketing with GRCVB's), easily and without worrying about copyright infringement (or your budget).
