This Advanced Crime Scene Photography

the student to successfully document
challenging photography situations that
occur at crime scenes. The course begins
with instruction of lighting techniques.
Scene specific photography of bloodstain
pattern and shooting scene evidence will be
covered in detail. The course covers low-light,
chemiluminescent, and forensic light source
photography.
Students will learn techniques for taking
examination quality photographs of
