The present invention relates to a method of photographing the skin of a person
comprising the steps of: (i) illuminating the skin with at least one light source,
where the light emitted from the light source is filtered using a polarizing filter;
and (ii) capturing the image of the illuminated skin with a camera; wherein the
angle formed by the light source, the skin, and the camera is from about 35 degrees
to about 55 degrees.
