As Tina has suggested: A successful Stock Photography business requires a large catalog, well organized and accessible to the widest possible audience. Usually that means working with a Stock Agency which that "wide audience" depends on to fulfill their requirements. Depending on your interests your research can generally turn up some Stock source for almost any specialty; from Science to Railroads to Airplanes to well you name it - you can find it. For example: in addition to the "general" agencies that Tina has mentioned you can find Agencies like: <http://www.sciencesource.com/> Be careful to read all the fine print in any agreements. Watch out for the agencies which sell for pennies or sell collections. If you google "Stock Photos Railroad" or "Stock Photos Whatever" you'll see many, many "agencies" and sources; including individual photographers specializing in "whatever." By exploring those sites you'll soon discover how they do business; their fee schedule, etc. Cradoc PhotoBiz also publishes decent software which suggests use fees, license language, etc. Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist
