About this course

Photographs are part of the clinical record and, with consent, part of how a clinic shows its work. This course covers standardised views, lighting, backgrounds, positioning and equipment, so that before-and-after images are comparable and honest.

It then covers the rules: consent that is specific about use, storage as personal data, marketing use, and what not to do with a client's image.

Who it is for: Practitioners and clinic staff who take or manage client photographs.

What you will be able to do

  • Capture standardised, repeatable clinical views for the face and body.
  • Control lighting, background, distance and expression for honest comparison.
  • Obtain consent that distinguishes clinical use from marketing use.
  • Store and share images lawfully and securely.
  • Recognise editing and presentation practices that are misleading.
