Age Progression and Post-Moretum

Age progression is the process of modifying a photograph to represent the effect of aging on the appearance. Following the scientific changes in the face which occur while aging and using reference images of family members this tool can provide an approximate face of an individual which can be used by law enforcement.

Post-Mortem depiction is used when bodies are in good enough condition for an artist to depict a reasonable facial likeness based upon morgue or crime scene photographs. The resulting image can be used to find potential leads or identities from the public.

Due to the nature and subject of these images final images are presented with identified individual if known.

FORENSIC ART PORTFOLIO WORK COMPLETED AS PART OF THE COURSE WORK FOR THE FORENSIC ART AND FACIAL IDENTIFICATION MSC PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE 2015 - 2016.

The opportunity to attend one of the top schools in the world and a program that exists nowhere else was once only part of my wildest dreams. In April 2015 the dream became a reality as I realized in just a few months I would be moving 4,500 miles away from home.
