Forensic photography, although similar to medical photography, has different aims, and different objectives. The main consideration is that the images are taken primarily for legal reasons, therefore the results must be accurate and detailed, and of use in court. The photographer must have an understanding of the technical requirements as well as the related medical and legal requirements. Autopsy photography must produce the minimum delay to the autopsy as well as being extremely reliable, as the images are not repeatable. This requires a combination of easily portable equipment and additional technical support. A good photograph clearly demonstrates the required information and minimizes distortion and misleading information. Factors to consider include identification, backgrounds, lighting, colour, scale, perspective, orientation and cropping. The requirements for the effective photographic documentation of forensic subjects are discussed, with reference to the current practices of a specialist forensic pathology service in South Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
法医摄影虽然与医学摄影相似，但目的和目标不同。主要考虑的是，这些图像主要是出于法律原因拍摄的，因此结果必须准确、详细且可在法庭上使用。摄影师必须了解技术要求以及相关的医学和法律要求。尸检摄影必须在对尸检造成最小延迟的同时极其可靠，因为图像不可重复。这需要轻便易携的设备与额外的技术支持相结合。一张好照片能清晰地展示所需信息，并将失真和误导性信息降至最低。需要考虑的因素包括识别、背景、照明、颜色、比例、视角、方向和裁剪。本文参考了澳大利亚维多利亚州南墨尔本一家专业法医病理学服务机构的现行做法，讨论了对法医对象进行有效摄影记录的要求。
