Appendix 9 – Taking Good Photographs
We see many photographs of treatment results which are just poor...
These make it difficult to properly compare ‘before and after’ photos, which, in turn, makes it difficult to know which devices or techniques work best.

You use your photos to keep good records of treatment. These days, many are used for promotional activities on social media and web sites. So, it is important to get these thigns right!

There are a few simple measures which can be employed which can make a big difference in the quality of your photos:
Firstly, buy a decent DSLR – don’t use your camera phone. They’re not that good!
Secondly, set aside an area for clinical photography (see picture on left). Use a suitable chair/table to make your subjects comfortable.
Thirdly, invest in an external light source. There’s nothing worse than photos which are too dark to see properly, or ‘flashed-out’ with too much light!!
