• Sketches and plans help photographers view composition, framing, and design, helping them to visualise and make decisions about what they create before the shoot

• By planning out before, you reduce trial and error and can use your time more productively 

• Plans can look like what the camera will view (top right) or they may look like an aerial view with notes on lighting and backgrounds (bottom right)

• Don't worry about being a good drawer or artist, this plan is to help you create your final work.

• Contact sheets quickly overview images, aiding photographers in efficient selection and organisation.

• Contact sheets assist in identifying standout shots, streamlining the editing process.

• If you have less than ten photos, you could display them larger on your website instead of contact sheets

• Even with contact sheets, you could display your standout shots larger with some dot points to explain why they are the best
