Aurora Photos announces that Andy Hill has joined the company as Vice President of Sales. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Portland, ME, Aurora Photos remains one of the premier, independent photo agencies. From Aurora’s New York City offices, Hill will oversee global sales.

After almost two decade of working with only rights managed photography, Aurora’s visually dynamic style now includes royalty free from all the top providers, as well as it’s own outdoor and lifestyle RF, the Open collection. Most recently, Aurora launched the myPhone collection of camera phone photography alongside a new licensing model called Easy Rights Managed. Aurora’s archive has grown to well over a million images as they continue to expand their offerings.

Hill, with his more than 15 year of experience in the stock photography business, will be responsible for helping lead all aspects of stock sales and grow the Aurora Photos sales team. Most recently he worked as VP of Sales and Marketing for PhotoLibrary. He also served as VP of Sales at Punch Stock and Director of Sales at AP Images. At Aurora he will also play a role in marketing.

“We are extremely excited to have Andy join our team,” exclaims ASPP Member José Azel, founder and president of the company, “Aurora Photos has made some fine strides in the last few years and we need a strong leader to help continue driving our growth. Andy brings an incredible amount of sales knowledge and experience to our management team and, in addition, has a great sense for marketing. We are lucky to have him.”

In addition to representing over 350 elite photographers for the commercial and editorial sectors for stock, Aurora’s New York office also contains NOVUS SELECT, an assignment representation and multimedia company that handles a unique roster of storytellers who have exceptional vision and skills with both still and motion.
