Which type of witness can authenticate a photograph or recording?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A witness who can testify that they recognize the scene depicted or the sounds reproduced, and the reproduction is fair and accurate, can authenticate a photograph or recording. This means that the witness must have firsthand knowledge of the scene or sounds and can affirm that the photograph or recording is a truthful representation. The person who took the photograph or recording may not necessarily be able to provide this authentication. Any witness or a prosecution witness may not be sufficient if they do not have the necessary firsthand knowledge and recognition of the scene or sounds depicted.
