INTRODUCTION
Hi Forensic Science Students! Welcome to Lesson 3. In this chapter, you'll learn about the various types of photography.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
Describe the different types of photography.
Discuss how various types of photography interrelate and contribute to investigative process
List of Topics
👉Types of Photography
The process of photographing objects directly enlarged on the negative and magnified from one to nine times (1x9x). A process of taking magnified photograph without the use of microscope.
The art of photographing minutes objects when magnified by means of the microscope and enlarge from 10 times and up (10x).
The art or process of photographing or recording unseen objects by means of infra-red light. It is useful in visualizing gunshot residue (GSR), bloodstains, tattoos, obscured writing, forgery, latent prints, and counterfeiting that is not readily visible to the naked eye.
The art or process of photographing or recording unseen objects by means of ultra-violet lights or filters. It involves two methods: ultra-violet lamp and ultra-violet filters. It can identify or separate pigments and fabrics and can detect forgeries of documents. Fluorescence photography can identify dyes, stains, specific chemical substances, and fluorescent components in microscope specimens.
The process of photographing or recording the internal structure of the body. X-rays are also used to determine the trajectory of bullets in gunshot wounds by analyzing the entry and exit wounds in the victim's body or help identify dangerous items like weapons and explosives.
It is a specialized type of photography that entails recording images of astronomical objects and large areas of the night sky
Applied to the technique whereby exposures are made with the illumination from one or more photographs. Flash photography describes using a flash device to capture photographs in poor lighting conditions
It involves using specialized equipment or software that captures images with elongated fields of view. This photography is sometimes known as wide format photography.
Microphotography, also known as 'micrography', is a technique that involves capturing highly magnified images of small objects or details using specialized equipment, such as microscopes or macro lenses.
It is also defined as a process of taking photographs in which the image is greatly reduced in size.
Thermography or Thermal imaging is a sophisticated and non-invasive technique that utilizes infrared technology to detect heat emissions from various objects. This process converts the infrared energy, which is invisible to the human eye, into a visible light display.
Thermal imaging is a crucial component of preventive maintenance strategies. By enabling the detection of abnormal heat patterns, such as those caused by overloads or impending equipment failures, thermal imaging can significantly enhance operational efficiency and safety. It is also used to potentially identify areas of concern especially in a human body.
Underwater photography is the process of taking photographs while under water. It is usually done while scuba diving, but can be done while diving on surface supply, snorkeling, swimming, from a submersible or remotely operated underwater vehicle, or from automated cameras lowered from the surface.
Underwater photography can also be categorised as an art form and a method for recording data. Successful underwater imaging is usually done with specialized equipment and techniques.
Night photography also called as Nighttime photography is the capturing of images outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial lighting and using a long exposure, exposing the shot for seconds, minutes, or hours in order to capture enough light to record an image.
With the progress of high-speed films, higher-sensitivity digital sensors, wide-aperture lenses, and the ever-greater power of urban lights, night photography is increasingly possible using available light.
Aerial Photography' refers to the process of capturing images from an elevated position using platforms like balloons or airplanes, producing imagery that can be used for various purposes such as map making, military reconnaissance, and civilian mapping.
A mug shot or mugshot is a photographic portrait of a person from the shoulders up, typically taken after a person is placed under arrest. The primary purpose of the mug shot is to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of an arrested individual to allow for identification by victims, the public and investigators.
Deals with the photographing of firearm shells and bullets.
The process of photographing document for purposes of examination and as a substitute for duplicate copy when original is lost and the purpose of duplicate photograph is to establish the contents of the lost original document.
It is the willful and malicious burning of property, usually a building or dwelling unit.
Deals with the application of macro-photography so as to produces an enlargement of finger print for comparison purposes
