Aurora Photos has teamed up with highly experienced leader David Laidler to spearhead the evolution of Select.

Aurora’s founder, Jose Azel says, “For years we have been looking for the exceptional individual who could take on the demanding role of directorship of an assignment division. I couldn’t think of anyone better than David.”

Aurora Select Assignment Director David Laidler says “It’s very exciting to be representing such a talented group of photographers, all very diverse but all great story tellers. In today’s competitive marketplace clients clearly need sophisticated visual essayists to tell their story, and Aurora specializes in bringing together the best in their field.”
