Request new photography

Introduction

Our professional photographic studio is constantly shooting new images, and clients can commission new photography of almost any object in the Museum.

Simply let us know which of our objects you would like photographed, specifying background, lighting or mood, angle or details.

Tailored photography with very specific requirements will be quoted on a case-by-case basis, and we may charge an extra fee when photography of delicate, heavy or hard-to-access objects is requested. Clients will always be notified of such costs before work commences.

Standard new photography costs £60-£85 (+VAT if applicable) per image. Please note that these fees cover the cost of new photography only and do not include any reproduction rights.

New photography of one side of a coin costs £50 (+VAT if applicable) per coin, or £60 (+VAT if applicable) per coin for images of both obverse and reverse sides (two separate images).

Standard new photography is supplied within approximately 30 days upon receipt of payment. We also offer a new photography fast-track service (7-day turnaround, subject to confirmation by the photographer) at extra cost.
