thanks for the info. I have been considering Stock Photos, and how to go about it. Thanks for the post, hugely beneficial.

You forgot the oh-so-important rule #8:

8. If planning on selling microstock, go ahead and do the rest of the photo world a favor and off yourself. Now.

Woah. Hefty. But yes, microstock blows.

Griz, nice write up. Over the past year I've been an occasional 3rd shooter for Jetta Productions (you should be familiar with Walter Hodges and Backcast by now ) and entering the world of Stock was, and still is, an eye opening experience. Quite a lucrative world too if you have the drive, and more importantly, the time to work 24/7 (having a 9-5 really doesn't help at all) and know what your editor/people want. It should also go without saying that you should know how to take a decent photograph too.

To Reiterate the most important thing: Releases, releases, releases! You can't sell shit without Model/Property releases.

Squared away piece on Stock Shooting! Thanks for sharing.

A couple of things I found when I googled model release forms.
