Facial Imaging

9

 

John Flynn

9.1 Introduction

There are many variations of the theme of facial imaging and in this chapter the author endeavors to present some of the applications of imaging and some of the pitfalls. One could easily envisage that a chapter with this title will be focussed on photography, especially in the context of a text on facial rejuvenation. In fact this is indeed the case, but there is a wider dimension to straightforward photography. There is a need to consider elements beyond before and after photographs. This would include problems of photo storage and retrieval, issues of privacy and copyright. Consent of the subject to the capture of their image and the subsequent display of that image is an issue often neglected or at least discounted by many practitioners.

The author will try to focus on practical issues and identify problems pertinent to an active clinical esthetic practice. There are many publications which cover in great detail photo-optics, light physics, and tips on taking a great photo. F-stops, aperture, shutter speed do not feature significantly in this chapter.

9.2 The Camera

Digital photography has overwhelmed the print/film version of the art, certainly in the realm of a clinical practice. The choice of camera comes down to digital SLR and the compact digital pocket version.

The digital SLR style owes much to its film version predecessor. This camera allows a great deal of manipulation of variables. The value is of course great flexibility in taking the photo with the right exposure and depth of focus, the challenge however is becoming a master of that very flexibility. There is clearly going to be more onus on the operator. Luckily, most of the newer ones still have a fully automatic function.

Great examples of digital SLR cameras are Nikon and Canon. If, however, you are like me and prefer the “point and shoot” variety then the compact fully automatic digital is worth looking at. There is a plethora of brands and degrees of complexity and sophistication from which to choose (Figs. 9.1 and 9.2).
