Which should I join? Which microstock photography site should I use to sell my photos online?

Good site. Good sales. Highly recommended!

Regular sales, very stable, quite fussy about your images.

Very fussy, small upload limit, good sales!

Bigstock Photo
Slow on sales, but high acceptance ratio. Easy to use and therefore recommended.



 
 
Working With Models in microstock photography

Some models advertise themselves as available to work TFP or TFCD (trade for photos, trade for CD), sometimes even the more experienced models. Check out Net Model and All Model Zone to find UK/USA based models in your area. If you have access to university students, then consider working with the drama students rather than the models, they are trained to act, vary their expressions, and do everything under the sun to keep from appearing wooden.
