What genre of photography do you do?

Most reps are located where the commercial photography action is: New York, Chicago, L. A., Boston.

Edit: I can be really dumb sometimes. I looked at your RedBubble site.

What kind of photography do you want to do?

I mostly do nature. But I like street, portrait and macro photography.

You can easily find others, just google 'photogrpaphy reps' and look at the types of images the represent and where they're located. It would be worth your while to contact a couple and ask them how to proceed.

Huh?

What is it you want a rep to do for you? Help sell your images or help find you a job as a photographer?

Ok,I understand better now.

That's not what a rep does. A rep helps you get assignments by showing examples of your work to clients interested in having images made for commercial uses like advertising, catalogs, brochures, magazine articles etc.

To sell your images you would do better looking at stock agencies;

www.gettyimages.com is the top dog

If you haven't already, check out this PhotoCamel thread.

And you should get the inexpensive book

Mostly it has contact info for photo buyers in various catagories like magazines, greeting card companies, calendar companies etc.

It details each companies image submission requirements and pay ranges.

You can always go to Amazon.com and look at their info and many you can take a look at the inside of many books online without having to buy.
