    Police photography, also known as forensic imaging, involves using photography to document evidence and crime scenes. Photography works by recording light on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an image sensor, to create a photograph. Sir John Herschel introduced the term "photography" in 1839. Cameras allow images to be recorded and stored and have evolved from early pinhole cameras to modern digital cameras with lenses, viewfinders, memory cards, and more. Forensic photography is used by police to document evidence, accidents, and crime scenes.
