Beschreibung
This is an authoritative and comprehensive reference for understanding clinical photography and improving the reader's ability to hone their skills and knowledge.
The book first explores the rationale for clinical photography before going on to provide a practical guide to equipment selection, standardized techniques and digital workflows in a range of settings, from the professional studio to the DIY enthusiast, whilst also including telemedicine.
Written and edited by three of the UK's most experienced and qualified clinical photographers, with additional chapters written by other specialists, it is richly illustrated with numerous example images and suggested protocols and covers basic photographic theory, suitable equipment, digital image workflow and a major chapter on standardized representational photography, the cornerstone of professional clinical photography.
Some medical specialties are covered in detail, including dermatology, dental and oral medicine, pediatrics, orthopedics, telemedicine and photography in surgery and the operating room. As well as a practical guide to clinical photography, the book also discusses the legal, moral and ethical contexts within which photography in medicine operates and, for the first time, explores the societal, cultural and religious factors for practicing in today's digitally literate, multicultural world.
This book will provide a valuable resource for biomedical photography students, practitioners and clinicians interested in developing their photography skills and applying them to medicine.

It is thorough and answers many questions about the why and how to necessary for the creation of exceptional medical photographs by untrained photographers who use photography as a part of their job responsibilities.

Essential for every reference collection."Michael Peres, Professor, Biomedical Photographic Communications, Rochester, New York
