In civil and criminal matters, evidence is material, tangible evidence such as an object, a tape recording, a computer printout or a photograph which the court can examine for itself. Evidence material does not stand alone and the court will hear evidence from a witness (often an expert witness) explaining the significance or the relevance of the real evidence.

Photographs can be introduced as evidence of what they show. For example, in a materials failure investigation or accident investigation, photographs of physical evidence submitted can be introduced as evidence in court proceedings.

In the provision of technical reports, we utilise specialist photographic equipment and techniques which produce a permanent visual record for investigations and court proceedings. The purpose of these photographs is to precisely capture accurate high-fidelity images for scientific and forensic analysis. We utilise professional grade full frame digital and film cameras and use specialised lighting techniques and depending on the matter being investigated, our photography specialists follow a very systematic approach.

Extreme accuracy requires meticulous attention to detail and to ensure that items of evidence (either at the scene of an incident or items submitted to the laboratory) are easily identified and are not distorted, we utilise a range of adhesive numbers, letters, arrows and specialists forensic rulers.

In more than one instance, our photography skills in capturing the key evidence, has prevented the expense of court litigation. Contact us for more information.
