This expansion deepens Stadium's roster and answers a growing demand from clients for integrated stills and motion under one roof.
Stadium has officially launched its photography division with the acquisition of The JUDE Group, marking the next evolution of the company’s creative offering.
This expansion deepens Stadium's roster and answers a growing demand from clients for integrated stills and motion under one roof.
Helming the new division is Laura Elizabeth Andonian, founder of The JUDE Group, who joins Stadium as Director of Growth. A seasoned veteran in the photography world, Andonian will oversee the photo roster, drive collaboration across the company’s directing and photography talent, and lead internal sales efforts company-wide.
“Stadium's global reach and relentless push for innovation made this transition an easy one,” says Andonian. “Our curated roster of photographers delivers across every platform; from editorial to commercial and beyond. Each artist brings a distinct visual language and a proven ability to translate ideas into culturally resonant imagery. I’m excited to see how Stadium's infrastructure can elevate each of our talents.”
Andonian brings two decades of experience, having produced global campaigns for Apple, Lululemon, Nike, Mercedes, and more. She began her career at Art + Commerce and Art Department before launching The JUDE Group in 2016, where she represented over a dozen photographers.
A Natural Evolution
For Stadium, adding photography wasn’t just a growth move; it was a response to what partners have been asking for. “Almost every project we’re on involves requests for stills alongside live action,” says Founder and CEO Samy Mosher. “By becoming a home for visual talent period, we’re making it easier for our partners to deliver across platforms without losing creative cohesion.”
Newly added West Coast sales rep Kelly O’Neill adds, “So many projects right now require nontraditional thinking. Being able to offer live action and stills as a cohesive production resource makes everyone’s life easier, creative, production, and client, because everything flows from one source.”
The Stadium photo roster includes Amanda Julca, Coty Tarr, Faramarz Goshesh, GL Askew, Jeff Luker, Louis Browne, and Monroe Alvarez. Goshesh and Browne are also motion directors already working under the Stadium banner.
“This is a strategic expansion,” Mosher continues. “We’ve built our reputation on pushing creative boundaries in motion, and this photo roster brings that same spirit to stills. Each of these photographers brings a distinct creative voice, and we’ve already seen how the right pairing can unlock something exceptional for our clients.”
