What are contact sheets?
Contact sheets are collections of small images that represent a photographer's entire set of photos for a specific project. This relates to when photography was shot on film and sets of 35mm film (the size that fit in most cameras) were collected in a grid. Contact sheets provide a quick overview of the images captured during a shoot, allowing photographers to review, select, and organise their best shots efficiently. This helps photographers in the editing and selection process, aiding in the identification of standout images for further development or presentation.
You can learn to make contact sheets on Photoshop below or you can create them using contactsheetmaker.com.
