From my professional experience as a photographer of the Scientific Police of the State of Goias and working with crime scenes photographs produced by me, taken during a 24 hours journey, discussing photography‘s legitimizing by science, supported mainly by its character likelihood, and incorporating the concept of photo-document proposed by Andre Rouille (2009) I analyze the relations between the photographer and the criminal scenes, questioning the constant exposure of mutilated bodies scenes in their daily work. / Em “Diante da dor dos outros”: o conceito de documento na fotografia forense discuto o estatuto da fotografia como espelho do real, investigando em particular o caso da fotografia forense (também conhecida como fotografia criminal, fotografia de evidência ou fotografia pericial), aquela produzida no contexto do sistema judiciário com a finalidade de auxiliar na construção de evidências criminais. A partir de minha experiência profissional como fotógrafo criminalístico da Polícia Técnico-Científica do Estado de Goiás e trabalhando com as fotografias de cenas de crime produzidas por mim durante um plantão de 24 horas, discuto a legitimação da fotografia pela ciência, amparada sobretudo pelo seu caráter de verossimilhança, e, incorporando o conceito de fotografia-documento proposto por André Rouillé (2009), reavalio as relações do fotógrafo criminal com a cena de crime, questionando a exposição constante a cenas de corpos mutilados em seu cotidiano profissional.

In this research, the role of forensic science with the use of forensic photography in the crime scene reconstruction process was evaluated. The researcher identified how SAPS detectives and Crime Scene Technicians (CST‟S) are currently conducting crime scene reconstructions by adopting forensic photography; furthermore, other methods in which forensic photography could be used to conduct crime scene reconstructions were explored. The researcher made use of an empirical design, as the information available on the research topic was limited. The empirical design, together with a qualitative research approach, allowed for real-life observations. The simple random sampling method was used to select 20:10 partcipants for this research as follows: Ten (10) detectives that investigate murder cases, and another ten (10) CST‟S that conducted crime scene reconstructions in the Durban Policing Area (DPA). Data was obtained using qualitative data collection methods that included a literature study and interviews. The findings of this research provide that the value of forensic science, as well as the use of forensic photography in the crime scene reconstruction process, was established. Evidently, detectives and CST‟S are not doing everything possible to reconstruct murder crime scenes. For recommendation, this research suggests that SAPS detectives and crime scene technicians (CST'S) adopt the fundamentals of forensic science when reconstructing murder crime scenes. / Criminology and Security Science / M.
