The only stock agency I’ve ever really worked with is Aurora Photos, based out of Portland, Maine. I’ve never been much of a stock guy honestly, I’d rather be creating unique brand based campaigns with a client. But that doesn’t mean that stock isn’t still a huge part of the photo world, and a decent part of mine. In the past few years, Aurora has been able to grow from being solely a photojournalism and news based stock agency. Thanks to forays into new markets (outdoor, assignments) and IMHO by relying heavily on a handful of really good photographers (Corey Rich and David McLain immediately come to mind) they continue to think outside the box and be an agency that can stand up to the big guys. Check out some fresh work and good creative motivation in the form of a video ‘JUMP’: tk
