Photography is an essential part of crime scene processing. A crime scene investigator may take several hundred, or even thousand photographs at a crime scene. The photos can provide key evidence as to the placement of certain pieces of evidence and their appearances before analysis.
In addition, the photographs establish a chronology of how the crime scene was processed.

12. Crime Scene Photography
The purpose of a crime scene photography is to give a documented record of the scene as it is observed.
Everything must be photographed, including overview shots of the entire scene, mid range pictures of important objects in context, and close-up shots of every piece of evidence
In court the photographer testifies about the pictures, explaining to the jury their relevance to the case and pointing out the important parts of each photograph. \
This testimony can occur weeks, months or even years after the photo were taken.
It is important for crime scene investigators to have a keen sense of observation and a very strong memory.
