Abstract: Apparatus includes a mobile stand supporting a photographic assembly having a camera photographing through a light at pre-set and fixed apparatus-to-patient distance establishing a constant photographic environment, in minimal space. The photographic assembly includes a means to mount a 90 degree rotatable camera body about an axis perpendicular to the film plane whereby subjects can be photographed on either a horizontal or vertical format. An adaptor sleeve is mounted on a zoom lens and, in conjunction with a motor and friction drive mechanism, move the zoom lens coaxial with the optical axis to compensate for and to bring, varying weight/mass differences between patients, into uniform image size. A mobile stand mounts the assembly between upright stanchions to compensate for varying height differences between patients into uniform image size.

Abstract: There is disclosed apparatus for use in precision photographic documentation including a stationary platform for supporting a subject in the center thereof, a turntable mounted relative to the platform for rotation about an axis aligned with the center thereof, a vertical post mounted adjacent one side edge of the turntable for rotation around the platform, a camera mounting means and a camera being positioned on the vertical post for taking pictures of the subject as the turntable rotates around the platform, and a vertical photographic backdrop mounted on an opposite side edge of the turntable for rotation therewith.
