Tens of thousands. Possibly hundreds of thousands. Marvin Lyons considered over 35,000 images while compiling his book, and there are many thousands more. I believe Lyons researched only private collections, so that number excludes what's available in the Russian state archives.

IF toke 150.000---6000.000 pics. But just Private Photo albums of each member of IF.
For example, Alix's album for years 1895-1911
Olga's one for 1915-1916(I would love to see these, there are many taken near Dnieper River)
Tatiana's for 1914, etc.
But, what about the Ceremonies photos(not tkaen by IF)-----Borodino, 300th Anniversary,Gibbes', Gilliard's collectons, Different Counts,....there are many more. No speaking about archives in Tsarskoe, Mogilev, Smolensk, Germany, etc, etc....Many, many photos, we have seen only 4000-----IMO! 
But, don't forget some were destroyed. I am wondering did Marvin public all the 35.000 images in his book?

Marvin Lyons probably only used a few hundred.

I think I've got around 7,000 of NAOTMAA so far...

Correcting, I wrote 6000.000 instead 600.000. Sorry. Thanks, Sarushka. Only NAOTMAA b&w pics., or including icons, drawings, Ipatiev pics., etc?

I misspoke as well. My entire Romanov file (photos, icons, drawings, maps, floorplans, etc) is just over 8,000 items. My NAOTMAA b&w photos are about 4,000

Once you start collecting it never ends. I may have to ban myself from Amazon.co.uk as I have spent so much there recently on books. But one must have a hobby and keep busy.

Just so long as I don't start to create cosy corners around the house...!
