I need you to hold on to the end of it. This is a good example of using, explaining the attractor. A lot of people go, „Here’s a retractor. I want you to hold it for me.“ The patient will not be able to see the retractor. You need to put them right in between your eye and the patient’s eye. Okay, here we go. Open for me, please. Relax your cheek. Good. Can you hold on to my retractor? That’s great. This time I’m going to ask you to actually open really, really wide when I ask you to do that. Not yet.
Okay, I need you to open for me, please. Thank you very much. Again, you want the mirror to be away from the object you’re taking, like this. You see the difference between this? This is a good example. This is a bad example. One away from the object. And once you know you have the perfect image, just put your camera in front of your face, take the picture.
Last photo, here we go. Can you hold it like this, please? Thank you. This time I’m going to ask you to pick your tongue on top of the mirror. Thank you. Here’s a bad example. The mirror is touching the object that you want to take. Here’s a good example. Push your chin up for me, look upwards. This will make it much easier for you. Now you have a perfect picture.
I just need to crop them properly in your camera. That completes our perfect session of clinical photo taking 101.
