"This is a masterpiece. It is thorough and answers many questions about the why and how to necessary for the creation of exceptional medical photographs by untrained photographers who use photography as a part of their job responsibilities. The authors have done an excellent job in highlighting the key elements used in many areas of medicine with discussions about equipment and methods. Essential for every reference collection."
Michael Peres, Professor, Biomedical Photographic Communications, Rochester, New York

It’s for anyone involved in making high-quality standardized images for patient care to be used in medical teaching and publication. It’s a must-have for all clinical photographers."
