photo documentation
Pictures as evidence
Photo documentation is the practice of creating a visual record through photographs, typically for official, legal, or archival purposes.
Insurance adjusters use photo documentation to record damage, medical professionals document injuries or conditions, and contractors capture the progress of construction projects.
The term emphasizes that the photographs serve as evidence or proof rather than artistic expression.
Make sure you have thorough photo documentation before filing your claim.
