About Gil Southwood

A former head of photography at a world-renowned numismatic auction house in London, photographing over 100,000 individual coins across 65 auctions and 12 printed catalogues. I now offer my services to the wider numismatic community as a freelance photographer, videographer and consultant, producing forward-thinking, creative and exceptionally high-quality images guaranteed to improve your auction performances and consignment intake.

As a photographer I prioritise honesty: bringing a coin to life by producing the most accurate, genuine reproduction of a coin as it appears in-hand, be it for a printed catalogue, reference work or coffee-table publication. I am a natural perfectionist, working with optimal efficiency while ensuring zero reduction in the quality of my images. If you’d like to talk about how my work can transform your auctions and catalogues, then please email me at contact@gilsouthwood.com, or get in touch via my web form.
