About Kieffer Nature Stock

 

Kieffer Nature Stock 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. KNS was started in 1986, primarily to market John Kieffer’s large-format (4 x 5 inch film) landscape photography. It has grown to represent some of the best outdoor photographers throughout Colorado & the West.

 

Kieffer Nature Stock offers both right-managed and royalty-free imagery and images can be supplied either as film or a digital file (scan). Not every image in our extensive files is online. Contact us, if you can’t find what you need. We can quickly put together a special selection.

All photography is Copyright © Kieffer Nature Stock 2007.
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 Kieffer Nature Stock 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 Kieffer Nature Stock. 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.

Submitting Photos

Kieffer Nature Stock is interested in evaluating photography from professional photographers. Visit our web site, to see if your work is appropriate, generally nature and people in nature. 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 600 pixels wide, JPEG, 72 dpi. Basically, just large enough for a good look.  Keep file names short and always attach the .jpg (dot JPG) suffix. Send about 20-40 excellent images. Choose ones that convey you know what kind of photos sell in the advertising and commercial industry. 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.
