"Crime Scene Photography"
Abstract
The following topics will be presented: The proper way to approach a crime
scene, how to document the scene initially and as the investigation progresses,
what type of evidence to look for, how to preserve it, stabilize it if
necessary, how to transport it, how to list it, how to process it, what
qualifications does a crime scene photographer need to have, what training in
the art, specific training with regards to crime scene photography, the
differences between digital media and film, type of equipment that is needed,
testifying about your photos in court, how many photos to take at the scene,
credibility issues, your state of mind, and objectiveness as a matter of
veracity.
[Old-timers may recall the recently deceased Darren McGaven, who starred as the
TV "Crime Scene Photographer", 1951-52. Det. Lt. Lauria is the modern
quintessential crime scene photographer!]
