In this second edition of Numismatic Photography, author Mark Goodman has fine-tuned the secrets to quality digital coin photography. Using a visually rich guidebook format, he addresses frequent problems coin photographers face, recommends improvements and provides specific tips and techniques to help capture the perfect photo.

The chapters are divided into two parts: Essentials and Advanced, allowing beginners to learn without being overwhelmed, while still providing more advanced photographers with the information needed to enhance and improve their skill sets.

Goodman’s structured and systematic approach is easy to apply, simple to learn, and doesn’t require an expensive camera or costly equipment.

Whether the coin being photographed is encapsulated or raw, deep mirror Proof or dark copper, Mint State or circulated, the skills and techniques outlined in this book allow even the beginning photographer to capture the true essence of each coin, with life-like brilliance, contrasting devices, sharp detail and perfect bands of luster.
