Ways to use Contact-Sheet Editorial
Contact-Sheet Editorial questions
- What is a contact sheet?
- A print made by laying a strip of negatives directly onto photographic paper, giving a thumbnail of every frame on the roll. Photographers used them to choose which frames to print, marking selections with a grease pencil.
- Why do contact sheets feel authentic?
- They show the process rather than the outcome — the near misses either side of the good frame. That evidence of selection is why they read as documentary even when the sheet is constructed.
