Stock Photography Sites

Want to make money taking pictures?
Visit a few of these websites to find out more about submitting your photos and making some commissions.

You need to know that all photographs taken which include an identifiable person will require a legal model release. Normally each site has their own model release downloadable off of their website, however a professional photographer should retain the release for just their personal business or self and not include the stock company in the release. There could be legal issues later if the stock-photography company is part of the contract. Use a general Model Release. This form was found at http://www.dphotojournal.com/
