What is a contact sheet?
A contact sheet can be used as evidence of a photo shoot. They are pieces of paper which display all of the images taken during a single shoot.
What are contact sheets used for?
Contact sheets can be used as a way to look at photos from a shoot and decide which ones will be used as a final image.
Colour-coding is used as a way to differentiate between good images, images that need editing and images that won’t be used.
Contact sheet example:
Here is an example of a contact sheet that I made for my “Photographing paper” work.
- Red – Not usable.
- Yellow – Maybe / Needs editing.
- Green – Usable image.
