About Outside Imagery

Outside Imagery, a stock photo agency, is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado. Please, feel free to contact our knowledgeable staff from 8 AM to 5:30 PM Mountain Standard Time. Outside Imagery was started in 1988 as Kieffer Nature Stock, primarily to market John Kieffer’s large-format (4 x 5 inch film) landscape photography and his photo books.

Outside Imagery offers both royalty-free imagery and rights-managed imagery. Imagery can be supplied as a digital file (scan) via email or FTP download. Imagery whose Photo ID number starts with "KNS45" is also available as 4 x 5 inch color transparency film. Perfect for large size reproductions. Search our catalog using keywords: "large format film" or "4x5 inch film". Not all imagery in our extensive files is online. Contact us, if you cannot find what you need. We can quickly put together a special selection.

All photography is Copyright © Outside Imagery 2007, 2008.
All Rights Reserved. No photo is in the public domain.

Low-resolution scans can only be downloaded for use in temporary layouts, comps or FPOs. No photo can be used in any other way without the express written consent of Outside Imagery and the payment of a usage fee.

Rights-Managed Stock Photography


Right-managed is where the usage fee (price) is determined by how much the image is used. The more prominently an image is used, the higher the usage fee. For example, the cost to license an image (buy) for use on a brochure cover is higher than if the same image is used on the inside of the same brochure. Search our online stock photo catalog.

Digital Files and Film

Film or Digital Fulfillment

All images can be supplied as a digital file and many can be supplied as film. Smaller digital files are sent via an email attachment. Larger files are downloaded to our web site. Film is shipped by a secure courier like Federal Express and film is always returned to Outside Imagery. The film user pays round-trip shipping fees.

Large-Format (4 x 5 inch) Film

Much of the landscape imagery was photographed using a large-format view camera and 4 x 5 inch color transparency film. This film is more than 15 times larger than a 35mm slide and affords unsurpassed quality, especially for larger reproductions. Photos shot with large-format film are noted with caption and keyword information.

Royalty-free Photo CD


Our Royalty-free Photo collections are an alternative to rights-managed photography. See:  Royalty free Image Collections. Photos (digital files) are licensed with broad usage rights for the original purchaser of the Photo CD-ROM only. Buying an Outside Imagery RF Collection allows the original purchaser to use the imagery in a wide range of commercial uses like web sites, brochures, and advertisements. All photos copyright © John Kieffer 2008 and John Kieffer retains copyright ownership.

Submitting Photos

Outside Imagery is interested in evaluating photography from serious photographers. Visit our web site to see if your work is appropriate. We need outside imagery, especially people being active outside. Photos with model-released people are in greatest demand and most valuable.

Digital submissions only.
Do NOT send film.


Email a link to your web site or mail a CD-ROM / DVD. Make horizontal images about 800 pixels wide, JPEG, 72 dpi. Large enough for a good look. Keep file names short and always attach the .jpg (dot JPG) suffix. Send about 50-100 images that convey you know what kind of photos sell in advertising, publishing and multimedia. Consider “Mastering Nature Photography – Shooting and Selling in the Digital Age“ for a detailed account of my views on making some money in this industry.
