Technical Aspects of Crime Scene Photography

Abstract

A characteristic aspect of Forensic science is that it is the comparison of evidence samples to  reference samples. A crime is a violation of a statutory law. Therefore, a crime scene might be defined as  any location or item connected with the crime. The interval between the crime event and examination of  the scene, affects our ability both to recognize evidence as such and to relate it to the crime event. Crime  scene photography helps to capture the scene and analyze it at a later date. It provides a permanent  record of the scene & helps to understand the complexities and details of the case. Forensic photography  is quite different from the regular photography. Forensic photography highlights mainly on the case as it  provides a concrete proof which can be used as evidence in the court of law. It makes the judges and the  lawyers understand the complexities of the case and tackle the issues in an efficient manner. It is  mandatory to know about the basic concepts of photography and the art of crime scene photography to  deal and record the evidence in a efficient manner.
