I am an established, published, full time professional photographer with over 2 decades behind the lens.  I have shot with and helped hundreds of models develop their professional portfolios. Over the years I have forged a number of connections with publications, agencies, designers and other industry contacts that benefit anyone who commissions my services.

PHOTOGRAPHERS:  I am frequently contacted by photographers seeking advice.  The most important thing is to learn the business aspects.  This is even more important than creative or technical skill, for if you fail to do so you are  branded as a fool to be played.  I have collected some references and links to help you find the information you need to make it in this business:
Editorial Photographers: A wealth of information on copyright, pricing, how to negotiate contracts, etc. website http://editorialphoto.com/
"The Value of Photography" by Debra Weiss is an excellent article explaining just how much your work is worth to your clients:
http://editorialphoto.com/resources/val … graphy.asp
"The War On Photography II," exposes the methods being used currently to devalue the work of photographers and strip us of copyright protection and income.  A must read:
http://editorialphoto.com/outreachep/wap2.asp
FotoBiz is an invaluable software program for pricing your work.  Your blood will boil to learn how badly you have been underpricing it and what your clients are actually expecting to pay:  http://www.cradocfotosoftware.com/.
This video is a parody on the games played to get something for nothing and struck such a nerve that it was viewed a million times in just two weeks: "The Client Vendor Relationship" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2a8TRSg … r_embedded   
"Photographers don't work for free" an excellent blog post by an established UK photographer: http://www.foto-z.com/blog/?p=96 
"The Free Exposure Trap" explores the futility of falling for the "free exposure" game so commonly played:

"The Time Magazine Cover Photo 'Ripoff'":

The Dangerous New Marketing Paradigm..."

I have started adding regular posts relating to the business of photography to my blog.  There are also more industry links for more valuable resources.  Check it frequently for new info:

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"...we teamed up with Mark Stout to bring you Cody... and we think the results speak for themselves.  The shoot was truly magnificent. Sweat Under Gear feels privileged to have worked with both the seasoned Mark Stout and the up and comer Cody." Tal Thompson, Sweat Undergear.  Read the post on their blog at:
http://sweatundergear.blogspot.com/2008 … -gear.html

"Working with Mark is amazing.  His passion, creativity, knowledge and willingness to help someone are unmatched in the industry.  Mark is not all about himself.  He truly cares for the models that he works with.  Not only their careers, but them as people as well.  There is not just one lesson that I have learned from Mark.  It seems that everytime we shoot that we both learn something." - Joe Wegner, actor, model - as told to Next Model Men.

"Working with Mark is always a pleasure. He is  very skilled, and very dedicated to doing anything necessary to produce great work. I've learned a lot about posing and the visual attitude of a shot in my shoots with Mark. We continue to bring out better things in each other."  - John Strand, model - as told to Next Hottest Model

BUSINESS STUFF  (yes, it really is a business)

RATES:  Model portfolio shoots begin at $1000 per day.  I will occasionally help models out by giving them a full day of shooting for my half day rate of $500.  Corporate/Designer shoots are priced based on the usage of the images.

TFP shoots are extremely rare.  I agree to TFP shoots ONLY when I believe a well-planned collaboration can result in significant benefit to all concerned.  Sorry but the cost of doing a professional photoshoot is too great to do it free.

-- note that any TFP shoot will be marketed in some capacity to help me recover some of my costs of doing the shoot.  If this is in any way objectionable, my rates need to be paid.  Model releases are required on all TFP shoots.

Things I have learned while in Colorado...

Conoco <pronounced> Ca-No-Co has the best damn "Food" in Colorado!!

It is perfectly acceptable to "saddle up" & take a ride on a 5 foot fish!

People that go back to college to become a garbage collector, need LOVE just like everyone else!
