Digital Photography Guide for Dermatologists With Special Considerations for Diverse Populations

The techniques discussed in this digital photography guide can help capture high-quality images representative of dermatologic disease processes across all skin colors, facilitate the monitoring of dermatologic disease, and create a positive experience for patients. Beyond the utility of high-quality photographs in dermatology clinics, high-quality photography can enhance skin of color representation in educational materials, expand access to dermatologic services by improving on the provision of teledermatology care, and may serve as a valuable tool for grading disease severity in clinical trials. Progress in these areas can help improve dermatologic care and health equity for diverse populations.
