Archeology can use photography to record the general site (landscape photography skills, possibly augmented with aerial photography), quantify specifics of a "dig" area or trench (with labels and rulers included in the image), document specific bones/artifacts in situ before removal (labels and rulers included again, lighting to bring out details often important), and details of artifacts after extraction (product photography skills useful, color standardization potentially important, scale markers and labels included typically). Macro photography and photo-microscopy can be part of the toolkit as well. Managing collections of images with consistent metadata/database can be helpful. If your group might publish findings, check the submission guidelines issued by the most likely journals that might accept the paper and illustrations (good guidance even if not expecting to publish). Photogenic artifacts might benefit from artistic photography and creative lighting in images that supplement the straight documentation. Team pictures can be fun and useful. Some projects may benefit from documentary videography in addition to stills. Many online resources seem aimed at rank beginners learning how to select apertures for adequate depth of field. You have skills far above that level and should do well. |
