Forensics & Fetishes

Forensics & Fetishes: Bruise Photography Through a Scientific Lens explores the practical and ethical art of documenting consensual BDSM marks using forensic photography techniques. This interactive workshop introduces participants to the basics of capturing bruise and impact play evidence with clarity, respect, and consent. We’ll cover lighting, camera angles, the use of measurement scales, and the timeline of bruise development—all adapted from real-world forensic practices. Emphasis will be placed on the dual purpose of bruise photography: preserving intimate memories and creating a record that could support consent if ever questioned. Whether you’re a kink photographer, a curious bottom, or a Dominant who values accountability, this session provides accessible tools for documenting marks with intention and integrity. No photography experience required—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to learn.
