I represent stock photographers and artists at http://www!.imageenvision!.com/ but I do require at minimum of 500 images!. The best way to start is to build a collection on flickr where a lot of photo procurement managers look for talent!. also, if you are taking pictures of people and pets, consider researching model releases:

As for prices, I would look at other peoples posts that are similar to yours and base according to those!. You don't want to under sell because it makes you look small-time and also makes other pro's look bad, and you don't want to over-charge because even with stock images, people bargain shop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
