Forensic Photography
Forensic Photography
Forensic Photography has a wide range of applications and uses. Crime Scene or Accident Investigations are most common. Providing visual identification and preservation of evidence for future review and study is the primary function of a Forensic Photographer. This can encompass a variety of cases such as Break & Enter, Theft, and Vandalism. In addition to crime scenes, a Forensic Photographer is regularly summoned for other investigations such as Automobile Accidents, Fire Investigation, Building and Engineering failures. A Forensic Photographer is required to record and preserve evidence at fatalities and is part of a team when Autopsy Photography is necessary.
Docufraud will send a trained forensic investigator and photographer to an accident or crime scene to collect and document evidence for use in both criminal or civil proceedings. Evidence collected will be transported to our laboratory for a detailed examination using the latest state-of-the-art high-resolution forensic microscopic equipment. Our findings will be verified by a forensic examiner qualified to testify and present evidence on your behalf as an expert witness. We will prepare a court ready forensic report for acceptance by courts in all jurisdictions within Canada and outside of Canada.
Here is a short list of some of the evidence our forensic photographer will consider and preserve for future evaluation and examination:
Fingerprints and shoe impressions can be valuable pieces of evidence to eliminate a witness or suspect from further investigation. Prior to dusting and lifting a fingerprint or shoe impression, a full series of photographic images are taken of the immediate vicinity and area of interest. Close-up photographic images are taken of the print prior to lifting.
