What’s the point of photography? We value preserving how something looks, a glimpse of what we encounter. but we’re also attending to it in the moment. That’s why we value simple photographic tools – mechanical rangefinders the perfect example – that get out of our way and allow us to experience the moment without having to ‘interface’ with a machine and its requirements.

It is good practice to advise the client that consent to use photographic material for research, peer review or teaching is for life and not limited by time, as seeking renewed consent when necessary is almost impossible. Photographic images taken during the course of an investigation should never be used for any purpose other than intented use.
