Forensic photographers see everything and have one of the most important jobs at a crime scene. I can’t recommend The Darkroom enough!
scotlandyardcsi.bsky.social ScotlandYardCSI @scotlandyardcsi.bsky.social · Aug 19
#WorldPhotographyDay reminder: not all photographs hang in galleries. Some end up in evidence files. #Photography in service of justice for the voiceless victims of crime.

The Darkroom is #1 on Amazon today. I couldn't be prouder!

Seventeen days in the sweltering heat and filth. The conditions unbearable. The task, worse. She mattered. Even there, buried in filth, lost to male violence, she mattered. You don’t forget a case like that.

Despite the devastating impacts on families, the epidemic of #missing / #murdered black women & girls in the US has largely remained a silent one. Raising public awareness is a critical first step in addressing this epidemic
