Why We Use Contact Sheets

Photographers use contact sheets to allow them to carefully select their top images. It also allows them to annotate the photographs on where they may want to crop the photograph, issues with photographs and photographs that they may want to further develop or use. Contact sheets are also used to present all the photographs captured on the shoot, which shows how the photographer went about the photo shoot. This way of displaying images is very useful for a photographer.

Coding System:

• Green Circle = Want to further develop
• Red Line = ‘Bad’ Photograph
• Red square/line with lines = Where I would like to crop the photograph
• Green L = Potential image I want to work with
• Red arrow with points both sides = Rotate photograph
• Red L = Lighting Issue
• Red F = Focus Issue
