Abstract
High-quality clinical photography has become an integral part of dermatology in the context of patient evaluation and monitoring, clinical teaching, and research. Technological advancements in smartphones have allowed dermatologists to incorporate photography in workflows; however, acquiring quality photos poses its own challenges. Outlining a best practice approach to image capture prior to biopsy will facilitate establishing a team-based approach for the implementation of clinical photography in workflow. We propose this guide with the intent of improving patient care though photography in the clinical setting and the goal of integrating high-quality photography into routine clinical practice.
