It's not very hard to shoot bands live at all. I do it all the time, since my hubby is a musician. Leave the tripod at home and get right up front. At most clubs and outdoor events it's pretty easy. The problem I run into the most with shooting bands/musicians is that many of them are paying attention to where the camera is and start hamming it up. Drives me nuts!

How are you going to shoot a real band with a crowd of people etc. you would need a model release form for every recognizable face you shoot unless its for editorial.

aw, now what am I going to do with the 50 Elvis impersonators I hired?
Seriously now, I've never tried stock photography (it has always seemed like the more boring part of photography to me), but the more I read about it, the more I feel like giving it a shot.
I'll keep this article bookmarked, it'll help if I ever do get into this.

I'm late to this thread Bill but found it very useful. Just this week I was accepted as a contributor at iStock (first attempt) and have been scouring their bestsellers for what to shoot that sells...but I think I'll stick to what I do best first and see how that works out - before I get my girlfriend to put on a headset and have her try to crank out an enthusiastic smile. Cheers,Ed

Thanks. As a stock photographer it is always very useful to hear the perspective from the end users side. Alex

Bill, I just read you article on Black Star Rising and I appreciate all your information. Until now I have shot all those photos you indicate I should NOT be shooting. I started 30 years ago submitting to Taurus Photo in New York and have sold almost nothing. I will be taking you info to heart. Thanks
