Clinical Photography

Clinical photography is the art of taking photographs used in medical records to compare physical attributes such as the skin before and after treatments or time. They are invaluable for patients and doctors because they can clearly show differences in the skin. Digital photography has become so commonplace that this can now be done at home. There are numerous technical aspects, but the most important thing is consistency. Every part of the photograph should be consistent every time. This includes the position, location, angle, lighting, background, removal of makeup and jewelry, covering of clothing and hair, and use of flash. Consistent settings help to clearly define what a treatment has done.
