About Me

My name is Evan Mayes, a North Carolina-based videographer and creative director, currently based in Raleigh. I was born in Cleveland, Tennessee, and raised in Winston-Salem, NC, where I was first introduced to storytelling through sports, music, and eventually, the camera.

I began working with cameras at a young age, learning the fundamentals alongside my father through his company, Mayes Video Productions LLC. That early exposure gave me hands-on experience capturing high-level events and laid the foundation for how I approach production today.

In high school, I expanded my experience both in front of and behind the camera as a reporter for Carolina Kidz News. That opportunity helped me develop strong communication skills and a deeper understanding of storytelling from multiple perspectives — something that still influences my work.

I went on to attend North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, where I earned my degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with a concentration in Mass Media Production. During that time, I refined my technical skills and developed a clearer vision for the type of creative work I wanted to produce.

What started as filming graduation visuals for friends quickly grew into a full-service creative business. Since then, I’ve worked across a range of projects including events, weddings, branded content, and promotional campaigns, collaborating with organizations such as ESPN+, Nascar, and CBS

In April 2024, I stepped into a professional role as a Promo Producer at CBS 17 News, where I created broadcast and digital campaigns, further strengthening my ability to produce content that connects with audiences at a high level.

Today, I run High Resolution Media LLC, where I focus on creating clean, impactful visuals that not only capture moments, but also serve a purpose whether that’s telling a story, promoting a brand, or creating content that people actually want to engage with.
