Avoid the white male boss / young female assistant cliche</em><br><a href=../../../stock-photography-contrib-browse.asp?cid={5396B919-D6C2-4437-A42D-E0A3653AE7DD}&name=Photofusion+Picture+Library>Liz Somerville, Photofusion Picture Library</a>'
text[1]='<em>Make sure you have a mix of ages in your pictures.

text[2]='<em>Avoid stereotypes when shooting gay / lesbian people - it&rsquo;s not all Village People and dungarees.  Think about lifestyle pictures and avoid endless Gay Pride pictures which are two a penny.</em><br><a href=../../../stock-photography-contrib-browse.asp?cid={5396B919-D6C2-4437-A42D-E0A3653AE7DD}&name=Photofusion+Picture+Library>Liz Somerville, Photofusion Picture Library</a>'

text[5]='<em>Do your research before going on the shoot. Find out what&rsquo;s been done before so you can try and come up with new fresh exciting ideas. If the situation allows, try and shoot both the negative and positive side of being disabled / belonging to a different ethnic group etc.</em><br><a href=../../../royalty-free-images-phot-browse.asp?pid={015B1B08-1ACA-4939-81E2-5368F05429CF}&pname=Jacky+Chapman>Jacky Chapman</a>'

text[8]='<em>Going to events such as a fun fair or religious festival can be very productive.

text[10]='<em>Keep your equipment simple. I usually just carry a SLR with a couple of fixed lenses - maybe a 50mm and 35mm lens. Also, in some cities security can be an issue.

text[11]='<em>Try to respect people&rsquo;s culture and religions. For example, some Jewish people don&rsquo;t like being photographed on the Sabbath. Also, perhaps ask if it&rsquo;s ok to shoot near a mosque, synagogue or temple.

text[12]='<em>There is a constant demand for images that show a mix of ages, races, genders etc but real life rarely puts such groups together. Some high end stock photographers spend tens of thousands setting up shoots to fill such a brief but these can look rather too perfect for uses outside advertising. If you can spot events likely to attract such an audience they will be well worth visiting.</em><br><a href=../../../stock-photography-contrib-browse.asp?cid={2FA26C49-B028-4C6D-8CF4-3259BFB72FBA}&name=David+Hoffman+Photo+Library>David Hoffman</a>'
