Forensic photography (sometimes referred to as forensic imaging or crime scene photography) is the art of producing an accurate reproduction of a crime scene or an accident scene for the benefit of a court or to aid in the investigation. It is part of the process of evidence collecting. It provides investigators with photos of bodies, places and items involved in the crime. Pictures of accidents show broken machinery, or a car crash, and so on. Photography of this kind involves choosing correct lighting, accurate angling of lenses, and a collection of different viewpoints. Scales are often used in the picture so that dimensions of items are recorded on the image.

A. Check with one of your large city police departments or Sheriff headquarters. They will know for sure because graduates will be pounding on their doors. When I looked into that career a number of years ago, they required the photographer to have been through the academy, worked two years in the jail system and then apply as a photographer once they had five years with the department. I passed and went in to editorial photography instead.

A. Two terms come to mind: forensic compositing, and forensic graphics I am not sure if either term is formalized, however. More commonly, the work is lumped into the type of software used in computers to do the work: computerized age-progression, or age regression. (It can be used both ways).
