This #BlackHistoryMonth, meet Karel, a Medical Photographer who is making healthcare imagery more inclusive. The @uhbwNHS project addresses a crucial gap in healthcare imagery – the shortage of photographs available to clinicians that show conditions on darker skin tones.
Karel is standing and smiling while having his profile taken. He is holding a camera in his hands that is strapped around his neck, while standing in a clinical setting and wearing scrubs.
