Forensic photographers mainly work with portraits of deceased people, photos of evidence, and photos of crime scenes. In order to do their job correctly, they must shoot documentary style photos that are realistic and non-altered. For a forensics photographer, salaries vary widely depending on your experience and the state you live in. On average, a new forensic photographer will earn about $14,640, while an experienced worker can earn anywhere from $24,040 to over $49,920 per year. The schooling you need to have completed for this job varies from workplace to workplace, but it is suggested to have a lot of experience in police work, forensics, crime scene investigation and photography. Degree programs in forensic science, law enforcement, criminal justice, crime scene investigation or criminology and additional courses in photography will be helpful for this job. Forensic Photographers work outside their home at various crime scenes. I am interested in this career because crime solving has always intrigued me. This job would be high-pressure because you cant miss any important photos and if they look weird or off proportion, it may make solving the case more difficult.

It was difficult finding photographers for this assignment, but i did find one forensic photographer named Arthur Fellig, also known as Weegee. A link to the Getty Art Museum is at the bottom of the page. For my assignment, I'm going to use Arthur Fellig as inspiration. I plan on setting up a photoshoot and shooting photos of evidence in a crime scene, using sticky notes as the numbers.
