From documenting a homicide scene to recording the detail of a bite mark, photographs can communicate more about crime scenes and the appearance of evidence than the written report. Photography is a valuable tool for recording the crime scene and explaining evidence to others.

The Crime Scene and Evidence Photographer's Guide is designed to be a field reference for those responsible for photography at the crime scene. It may be used by law enforcement officers, investigators, and crime scene technicians. It contains instructions for photographing a variety of crimes scenes and various types of evidence. It is a valuable reference tool when combined with training and experience. The Crime Scene and Evidence Photographer's Guide is also a helpful resource for students and others interested in entering into the field of crime scene investigation.

Designed to be carried in an evidence kit or camera bag, this 66 page, 5 " by 8 " publication contains step-by-step instructions for photographing crime scenes and evidence. It includes 42 example photographs, eight diagrams, and three tables.

And too expensive! This book is a small (5x7) spiral bound notebook that came out in 1997. Nothing about using a digital camera obviously. The pictures are small, B&W, and grainy. $24.95 is asking way too much for an outdated book that is lean on information to start with. I had hoped to get more info on shooting traffic collisions but there are only 5 pages!
Don't waste your money...

64 pages of obvious materials. Take photos from all perspectives. Take close up photos of evidence. Document all photos. I know, amazing isn't it (sarcasm). How someone can find this book "enlightening" that doesn't have an interest in its sale, is questionable to if they are competent as an investigator.

That's the substance of the book with some basic mentioning to photographic technique that any novice with a few months would know or have access to. There is little substance to this book. Look elsewhere for information.
