Personal injury photography techniques

Personal injury photography can be described as taking photographs of a personal injury for a person who has suffered from a personal injury, so that this person can use the photos. as evidence of their injury.

A good personal injury photographer will look at the injury and discuss it with the victim before taking the photographs. In my experience this is the only way of discovering what should actually be in the photograph.
This photo. of a personal injury, which was taken at my Skegness photography studio, explains this.
It’s a photograph of a lady’s leg, but it isn’t a picture of what might be described as the ‘main’ injury, it’s a picture of what might be described as a secondary injury, an injury which is secondary to the main injury.
The main injury is a scar on her leg, which is the result of a deep wound. Obviously, I took photographs of this scar, from various angles.
However, because we had discussed her personal injury before I took any photos., and because she mentioned that she had a depression or indentation on her leg as a result of the main injury, I decided to take pictures of this depression, as well.
The depression, on the furthest leg, is the secondary injury that I mentioned.
It might not seem to be a very significant injury, but you have to look at it from the victim’s point of view.
A woman’s legs are very important to her. Abnormalities like this – and scars of course, concern them.
