Abstract

A characteristic aspect of Forensic science is that it is the comparison of evidence samples to reference samples.A crime is a violation of a statutory law.Therefore, a crime scene might be defined as any location or item connected with the crime.The interval between the crime event and examination of the scene, affects our ability both to recognize evidence as such and to relate it to the crime event.Crime scene photography helps to capture the scene and analyze it at a later date.It provides a permanent record of the scene & helps to understand the complexities and details of the case.Forensic photography is quite different from the regular photography.Forensic photography highlights mainly on the case as it provides a concrete proof which can be used as evidence in the court of law.It makes the judges and the lawyers understand the complexities of the case and tackle the issues in an efficient manner.It is mandatory to know about the basic concepts of photography and the art of crime scene photography to deal and record the evidence in a efficient manner.
