Book excerpt: Written by an experienced professional who consults regularly on cases throughout North America, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography expertly combines the latest methods of photographic documentation with a practical step-by-step presentation. Redsicker discusses the "how to" of basic photography (including techniques and equipment), shows the essentials of videography, and offers the fundamentals of aerial, underwater, and surveillance photography as related to court evidence. The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography covers all aspects of photographic documentation, from the proven techniques involving still-cameras, film, and lighting to the latest advances in video, thermography, proton induced X-Ray emission, and computer imaging. Unlike other forensic photography books, this book focuses on the proper photographic preparation of evidence and documentation for expert testimony. In addition to over 250 photographic illustrations, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography includes an extensive glossary of terms crucial in the preparation of legal reports. This valuable addition to the Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations Series will be greatly beneficial to a broad base of professionals working in law enforcement, fire service, medicine, law, engineering, and insurance.
