    He takes great pictures, but I don't know if he does that for others...

    While I am a professional photographer and do high end photography of my own coins, I do not photograph other peoples coins with the rare exception of consignment coins.

    Good luck finding a coin photographer in town.

    I would do it if the fees would make it worth it. Most are not willing to pay what my time is worth which is way above the current fee charged by most coin "photographers".

    It really is tremendous amount of work.

    Taking the photos is actually is just part of it. Processing the images in the back end takes a lot of time and talent. Way more time than the photography itself.

    Are you coins raw or in slabs?

    Got the PM, Thanks.

    Slabs, I was afraid of that as they require so much additional time and many reshoots. Scratched slabs which are most slabs add extra time. Colorfully toned coins, even more time.

    I am having a nightmare just thinking of the job, so I will have to pass.

    Good luck, Chris
