The Basic Investigative photography course taught by Jerry Narowski is extremely practical and useful when it comes to documenting crimes scenes and photographing evidence. As a supervisor of a forensic/crime scene unit, I think this class should be a requirement to anyone considering a position in an investigative role, especially those who regularly process crime scenes and photograph evidence. This class ensures that the student leaves with the basic skills necessary to properly document a scene and photograph evidence. I would highly recommend this course, not only to individuals starting a career in the field, but also to veteran investigators as a refresher. The instructors background, education, and extensive experience in the field really showed as he knew just the right amount of information to throw at the students. He not only had an excellent personality when interacting with students of different experience levels, but was able to keep students engaged at all times. I am confident that an investigator with little to no photography background could leave the class with the fundamental skill set needed to document scenes and evidence using digital photography. No matter what level of experience, anyone who takes this class is guaranteed to get something beneficial out of it. This was the best photography class I have ever taken for sure. If I had to sum up the course in one word, I would say “practical.” I loved the class and would take it again in a heartbeat.
