About Outimage.

Last Update:

April 4, 2004.

Hi, my name is Peter Andrews and welcome to the Outimage web site.

The name Outimage is basically a reduction of an early registered business name, Outstanding Images. Up to now, all content associated with Outimage has been produced by myself.

As a published independent photojournalist, this site is a reference point for some of my work. Currently based in the Illawarra region on the New South Wales south coast of Australia, more recent work seeks to capture some of the natural wonders of this area. Another large portion of my work revolves around sailing, from ocean yacht racing to tall ships.

Academic qualifications include an arts degree with both communications and sociology majors with options to continue with honours. I also have only a couple of subjects to complete to achieve post graduate qualifications in marketing.

There are a few reasons behind the existence of this site. Personally, it has been an photo-journalistic and design challenge in electronic publishing that commenced in February 2001. The content all based around various genres of interest. The challenge comes with the amount of graphics, as the total number has been limited by server limit of only 5 meg up until now (The entire site now spans two servers from two ISP's providing a total availability of 10 meg server space).

For clients, the site exists for anyone who may have an interest in any of the various topics my work covers.

In photography, I have worked as a semi professional photographer for well over ten years, successfully avoiding weddings, babies and real estate. Most of my work is outdoor, using only natural light. During my early years as a photographer, some basic studio work was carried out. However, artificial light is something that has never been of any real interest.

It has always been far more challenging for me to capture a great image with available light.

During the late 1980s and early 90s, push processing of colour slide and black and white negative film for shots under very low lighting conditions, only further propelled me away from studio light. Subjects consisted of rock bands and artists, including Midnight Oil and the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Most of my current shots are captured with a high-end Nikon digital SLR, but high quality colour slide is also used for those special moments or when required by a client. Commercial standard 35mm and historical photographic stock has been continuously gathered since 1982. A recent estimate of my colour photographic transparency stock is somewhere around the 220,000 figure. Stock also exists in colour negative, but the quantity of this is unknown. A small portion of black and white negative stock, also exists. Much of this stock has been gathered from all around Australia, but a large quantity has also been taken in parts of Europe, the United States, Canada, Asia, New Zealand and various locations around the South Pacific.

All content found anywhere on this site (except for some external link icons) including text, photographs, icons, overall design and topic research, has been conducted and entirely produced by myself and protected by international copyright. The content covers a wide spectrum, so hopefully there is something there for all to enjoy.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Chrysler building. This shot was taken from that other famous building in New York City, the Empire State, in July 1992. The upper East River and Long Island Sound are seen in the background.

As with any of the design or other content, any feedback good or bad, will be appreciated. Email access is easily obtained by just clicking onto any of the copyright notices found all over the site.

Thank you for your time and I sincerely hope you will enjoy my site.
