• What is clinical photography? Is it medical photography?
• What is the best camera for clinical photography.
• What makes a good clinical photograph.

Starting today, we are excited to share decades of experience in medical and clincial photography using digital cameras. The paradigm shift from the time of the first Apple QuickTake is awe inspiring. Still, the value of good consistent clinical photographs is without change.

In 9 lessons we will show you how to maximize the remarkable capabilities of the iPhone, understand the principles of medical and clincal photography, feel comfortable in documentation both descriptively and visually.

It is true that the iPhone camera interface is intuitive, but while the one of the authors was writing the manuscript, the other was learning tips about flash settings and posing the patient while editing. When the tables were turned, the primary author learned new things about the automatic macro and video "righting." Originally the digital photography revolution was seen as a way to take and store before and after pictures easily; originally the resolution and the camera functioning was not ideal. At this point in time, the quality from that small camera "in your pocket" is amazing when coupled with these simple techniques.

Medical iPhone Photography will be released one chapter a week until mid December...as both an iBook for the iPad or iPhone or a PDF for everything else. Then the book will become available in printed form for holiday giving to your favorite healthcare provider.
