Abstract

Currently, digital photography is a crucial resource for Dermatology. Although auto exposure modes are included in all point-and-shoot cameras, photography technical knowledge is very useful. Why is this photo grainy? Why is this photo blurred? How can I shoot in low light conditions? These are just some questions that you should be able to answer after reading this article. We give some basic/intermediate technical knowledge that should help you to get better photos and be able to understand eventual photographic errors.

The usefulness of photography in Dermatology is well-known and it has been extensively discussed. Photography knowledge is fundamental for the modern dermatologist allowing optimal results.
