I didn't know much about forensic photography, so thank you for clarifying this. It looks like a very involving career that has someone on call all the time. What would you say are the necessary skills here?@Mobile 5, I wouldn't have the stomach for it.
@ShutterUp, I'm into true crime stories or I wouldn't know this, but photography is considered forensic photography when it's sworn in as evidence. It doesn't just have to be photos that were taken by a crime scene photographer. Images that show a crime that are pulled from a store's surveillance camera can be submitted as forensic when sworn by the store owner and submitted as evidence.
I don't think I could handle the job at all! I'm really sensitive and empathic. I think the job would take a huge emotional toll on me and negatively impact my mental health and my relationships. We need all types in this world, so I'm happy that someone is interested in forensic photography!I'm really torn on this. I think that it could be a really interesting career. I've been interested in criminal justice since I was little, since my dad is a police officer. But I also don't think I could handle the emotional aspect of the job. I think that it could be a good starting job, but not something I could stay at for too long.
I agree that over the long run, it would hurt my mental health. But, I would be willing to try it. I wonder if these jobs come with therapy sessions as a health benefit? It would probably help with retention of photographers.I don't think I could handle the job at all! I'm really sensitive and empathic.
