Читать книгу Protocols for Mobile Dental Photography with Auxiliary Lighting - Louis Hardan - Страница 7
Оглавление“You should never judge a photographer by the type of film used, but only how he uses it.”
–Ernst Haas
Walter Devoto & Angelo Putignano Founders of StyleItaliano
Since Professor Louis S. Hardan joined the StyleItaliano team, every day he has shown the curiosity and interest in simplified dentistry that is in our StyleItaliano DNA. One day he came to us and said, “Taking a good dental photo must be as easy and pleasant as taking a selfie.”
We were shocked by this, considering all the effort that goes into taking high-quality photographs in the clinic, all the devices and details required, all the money invested in making the communication better and better in our courses and lectures. But then he came with a smart prototype and showed us a series of photographs. They were breathtaking—in clarity, resolution, sharpness, and the way the light was managed.
And the device in question was his mobile. With some smart lighting of course.
We finally understood. He was thinking exactly of all the dentists and students who don’t take photographs because it is too complicated and expensive. He was thinking of an easy way to communicate with the dental technician. He was thinking of the assistants, always struggling with the professional camera. He was thinking of the easiest and best way to speak with the patient and create a positive relationship. All of this is the real philosophy and target of StyleItaliano.
We are proud of this work, proud to encourage every dentist to always document every case. This is the way to grow your skills and to share emotions with everyone around.
Although some may express cynicism at the use of smartphones in clinical photography, we would like to remind you of the initial quote by Ernst Haas: “You should never judge a photographer by the type of film used, but only how he uses it.” Smartphone cameras are evolving rapidly, and the photographs in this book are the best proof that it is not the type of camera that dictates the quality of a photograph—it’s how you use it.
Enjoy the book with passion and bright eyes!
