The primary purpose of crime scene photography is to document the crime scene. This allows investigators to capture and preserve the physical evidence and the overall context of the scene as it appeared when first discovered. The photographs serve as a crucial record, providing a visual reference for investigations, helping to convey details that may not be easily communicated through verbal descriptions alone. Documentation is essential for recreating the scene during investigations, presenting evidence in court, and ensuring that every element of the crime scene is accurately represented and can be examined by investigators and legal professionals.

While photography can support sketches and create educational materials, the fundamental role it plays is capturing the initial state of the crime scene. This documentation must be precise and comprehensive to uphold its integrity during an investigation and court proceedings.
