Crime Photographer's Handbook: How to Get Perfect Crime-Scene and Surveillance Photos and Video Every Time

Police photography leaves no room for failure. When secretly photographing a spy, a terrorist, or a kidnapper picking up a ransom, there are no chances to reshoot if the photos don't come out. It is the same way with a crime scene: if you don't document the evidence right away, it won't be there later when you're searching for clues or building a case. Crime Photographer's Handbook is an intensive, hands-on photography course specifically for police investigators. Battle-tested techniques are described in step-by-step detail, and photographs, charts, and diagrams clarify specific applications. Lending credibility and levity to the lessons are anecdotes from the author's 20-year career with the FBI. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Make sure that your photos say the right thing when they are called into evidence.
