The Contact Sheet by Steve Crist takes a look at a crucial aspect of the photographic art that is seldom addressed in books or discussion: the selection of images from a shoot. I always find it fascinating on those occasions where another photographer edits my work (or vice versa) to find that frequently the images they choose as the “selects” differ from my own choices. Sometimes, we don’t even recognize our own best images until much later, as was the case for Alfred Stieglitz, who didn’t even bother to print “The Steerage” until 4 years after its capture. The Contact Sheet pulls from a wide variety of photographers, both legendary and more obscure, offering some of their signature images alongside the contact sheet from which those images were drawn. This provides a fascinating insight into both the process by which these photographers work, and also into their selection criteria for which images they stamp with their “seal of approval.”
