“ICONIC MUGSHOTS”
—
(a mug shot or mugshot (an informal term for police photograph or booking photograph) is a ‘photographic portrait typically taken after a person is arrested)
(it is a standard criminal procedure, and subsequently it is applied to an identity and record portfolio)
(the original purpose of the ‘mug shot’ was to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of an arrested individual to allow for identification purposes by ‘victims’, ‘the public’, and ‘investigators’)
(however, in the ‘united states’ entrepreneurs have recently begun to exploit the ‘mug shot’ for commercial gains via the ‘mug shot publishing industry’)
(‘photographing of criminals’ began in the 1840s only a few years after the invention of ‘photography’, but it was not until 1888 that french police officer ‘alphonse bertillon’ standardized the process)
