There are lots of long time photographers who can't get on with them. That being said, the links you need are :http://corporate.gettyimages.com/source/contributors/ and http://contributors.gettyimages.com/workwithus/index.asp There are lots of other stock photo agencies out there as well. Most of the reputable ones require hundreds (sometimes thousands) of high quality images for a photographer to be represented. There are also micro-stock sites for smaller collections. iStockPhoto is one of these and is actually owned by Getty Images. They sometimes have lower standards and almost always sell images for rock bottom prices.<br><b>References : </b><br> Getty Images is very picky about who (not the images as much as who) they let sign up.
