I am always interested in finding new models interested in becoming models for my stock photography. You don't need to be a 'supermodel', just attractive, 'normal' looking people are prefered. I am looking for Males and Females aged 0-200 interested in seeing their pictures in public, and getting high quality images free!
Wikipedia says,
"Stock photography consists of existing photographs that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, advertising agencies, graphic artists, and others use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments. A customer who uses stock photography instead of hiring a photographer can save time and money..."
Still doesn't make sense? This is how I usually explain it to the hundreds of people who ask me this all the time. If you think about it, whenever you see an advertisement by Nike, Visa or Apple Computers, you know that they went out and hired a advertising company, who hired a model, a photographer, got a location and paid exhorbant amount of money to get that advertisement done. Often one picture can cost tens of thousands of dollars, or more. Yet we see local businesses, churches and non-profit groups advertising all the time with great pictures, that we know they didn't spend thousands on. Where do you think they come from?
Most images in advertising come from Stock Photographers. What happens is a photographer, like Stephen Kiers, predicts what types of images are needed and takes them in advance. Then, when a business wants to run an ad, they simply go to a Stock Photography website and purchase and download the premade image for a fraction of the price.
