Abstract
AT a meeting of the Association for Scientific Photography held on September 18 at Middlesex Hospital, Dr. H. Mandiwall stressed the particular qualities required in clinical photography. In his opinion these are: (a) a simple straightforward record with perfect definition ; (b) a self-explanatory picture, but nevertheless one which does not include unessential portions ; (c) a well-presented print, as much care being taken in the mounting and finishing as in a studio portrait ; (d) in the case of colour photographs, the colour must be true to the original. This is of particular importance in skin diseases which are characterized by the colours of the part affected. It was suggested that a Clinical Group should be formed in the Association, which would discuss the special aspects of this work, and compare technique.
