Question- What are the 3 types of photographs that need to be taken at a crime scene?
Answer- all crime scene photography consists of three basic types of photographs: 1.) Overall Photography 2.) Mid-range photography 3.) and, Close-up Photography.
📷 Long Range/Overall Photography: It Provides an overview of the scene establishing the location of the crime, to include addresses, street signs, business names, landmarks, outside and surrounding areas. Indoors, this includes photographs of a room from all four corners to show the layout of the room and furnishings. 📸 Mid-Range Photography: It Provides a view of spatial relationships of items and evidence within the scene.
📷 Close-up Photography: It Provides detailed photographs of individual items of evidence. If possible, should be taken at a 90 degree angle to the subject.
📐Scaled/Comparison Photography: Close-up photographs that include a ruler provide scaled, detailed documentation of individual items of evidence. They are necessary in order to produce an accurate one-to-one photographic reproduction to use for examinations or comparisons. 📏 The scale may be marked with the photographer’s initials and employee number, the LIMS number or offense number, and the date in a way that does not interfere with the markings on the scale.
