I decided to make a list of all the stockers I enjoy watching, and decided to put them alphabetically, 5 or 6 stockers for each news article (it take s a lot of time). Its gonna take a wile till I post them all.

I also add a little explanation as to why I watch them, what they offer and the quality/variety of stock offered, and feature some of the most interesting shots.
Simply put, I "rated" (ugly word I know) the stock photos by what I believe to be the most important characteristics for stock.

Photo quality (dps, grain, blurriness...)
Light quality (if the photos are too dark/bright or if they have flash use)
Variety of stock offered (different poses, backgrounds, costumes...)
Number of stock photos offered (simply put, the quantity of photos in the gallery)
Expert/Good on (the greatest strength of the stocker)


PLEASE read the rules of each stocker. Remember that everyone has their own set of rules. Some stockers have less restrictions then others but since they may change their minds I will not post the individual rules of each stocker here.
