A method of producing three dimensional photographic records of the human face is described. The equipment utilizes components which can be easily obtained. It is based on telecentric photography in which projected grid lines are made parallel and divergence errors eliminated from the recording camera. It is suggested that such records might be of value in orthodontics and in plastic surgery.
