The core photography skills every crime scene technician needs to document a scene properly.
Crime scene photography has to hold up to legal scrutiny, which makes it a genuinely different discipline from ordinary photography — every image needs to be accurate, complete, and defensible in court. This guide covers those fundamentals.
Inside: the standard photography sequence for documenting a scene completely, equipment and technique specific to forensic documentation, common photography mistakes that can compromise a case, and maintaining a proper chain of custody for photographic evidence.
