Daniel Patry:
As a crime scene photographer, I’ve seen some pretty gruesome stuff. But nothing could prepare me for the images I saw while working on a recent case.
The victim was a young woman who had been brutally murdered. Her body was covered in bruises and cuts, and her face was swollen and disfigured. It was one of the most gruesome things I’ve ever seen.
I’m not sure what drives me to do this job, but I can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s my way of helping to solve crimes and bring justice to the victims.

War Photographer to Crime Scene Photographer

Patry had always been interested in photography, but it was Kuhn who first introduced him to the darkroom and showed him how to develop film. The two men bonded over their shared love of photography and ended up working together as war photographers.
They documented some of the most brutal conflict zones in the world, including Bosnia, Kosovo, and Chechnya. But after years of seeing the worst of humanity, they decided to focus their lens on something else: crime scene photography.
Now, the two men spend their days documenting death and destruction. But they say it’s all in a day’s work, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
