Paper Photography:Contact Sheet
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.
Overall, in my opinion this is my best image from the response I did. I like this image due to the use of light and tone, with a good contrast. The contrast in my opinion shows the form and line of the paper than if the frame was all highlights and all bright.
The way I achieved my wanted contrast and brightness, I utilized the natural light in the room so that I didn’t have to use the flash or heavily edit the picture. The only editing I did do was add a soft black filter to the image: I didn’t want a normal black and white filter that pix-elates the shadows and lines.
Alongside the use of contrast, I wanted to incorporate line and shape into my image so that it created less of a silhouette and more of a strong shape within strong shadows.
