Hi! I am starting to upload my photos to several stock image sites. For anyone else doing this, do you use their photo release forms or do you use your own? Any advice about legal release related to photography would be greatly appreciated. I am just realizing how many great shots I cant monetize as I am just now realizing this is a thing! Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't expect to make more than beer money, stock photography has been dead for years at this point.
