Contact Sheet Photography

- Contact sheet photography is the art of carefully planning your shots in a way that the developed negatives will create a larger cohesive photo.
The easiest form of this process is creating a larger photo out of a bunch of small photos. That's about as far as I gotten with this process, but there are so many interesting and more creative things you can do.
Here's just a smattering of examples:

In my video I mostly talk about the technical side of this process. The fundamentals you need to know is that the image that gets projected onto the film is projected upside down. And you also need to understand how your film advances the film. With those two bits of knowledge you can then plan the sequence of shots.

You should’ve titled this “I made a 5000 megapixel image for no reason” lol btw, love the channel, subbed 👍🏾 and the talking hands...genius! 👌🏾
Back in ‘02, I went to an exhibit at a gallery that was all contact sheet photos as large prints. The photographer was great, willing to divulge his technique on getting them blown up so large on silver gelatin paper. Truly eye opening to a different way of thinking about photography for me. As a college student at the time, I couldn’t wrap my head around the cost of such a project.
I wish I could remember his name, I even had a small exhibition poster for the show for a while. He was a doctor, and this was a creative outlet that he could really focus on and help clear his mind.
incredibly chaotic, 10/10 catch me now shooting three medium format rolls for a single photo oof
Portland looks so nice in pictures and then you actually spend time here and realize its true colors
Awesome! Would love to see a vlog type video of you actually making the photo!
Thanks! I do plan on shooting on-location stuff when things settle down. I haven't really shot a whole lot this year so I've been raiding the archives for content.
I love your videos. I don’t know how you’re not blowing up on RUclips right now. You should be one of the biggest film photography RUclipsrs. Keep up the great work and I know you’ll get there!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it.
I'm just happy that there's someone out there watching this stuff.
Altavista 😂 you made me go back in time a quarter of a century for no reason 😆
Just discovered and binged your entire channel. Some fantastic experiments, and this final panorama was crazy. Did you ever hang the whole thing up on a window or something?
I originally put together a lightbox that housed all three uncut strips. It was cool but unwieldly so I ended up cutting the strips down.
large format users: "Look at what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power"
For real though, thats impressive
Wow! this is madness! absolutely brilliant channel.
I'd love to see you brew your own C-41 and E-6 chemistry.
That image resolution must be massive
just discovered your channel and have binged all of your videos. Love the style, can't believe you've only got 132 subscribers.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
this is so cool, thank you for sharing this made me really happy
LOVE example #2, so cool to see something different :)
Shooting film normally is for noobs :P
Wow!!! Impressive!!!
You maniac, you madman! Love the content
"No good reason series" :) keep it up!
I'm trying this for my final project in college (uk college) and found a photographer called Thomas Lang that also makes images using this technique.
I just read the description and saw you linked to Thomas Lang ignore me 😂
part of me asks why the fuck would you even,
part of me wants to jump right at a project like this...
part of me knows I'm too lazy to nail this and too cheap to try.
This is an arca Swiss cube moment
Im going to try that now
I am so glad I found this channel! If you happen to read this: What focal length lens were you using in that massive color panorama at the end?
I was using the 150mm f4.
just found your channel and love these videos. What lens do you use when doing contact sheet photography?
I was using the Hasselblad 150mm f4 CF. That's the longest lens I have and I wish I had a longer focal length because it's a little wider than I wanted.
dope
Dope
try it with a tilt-shift lens!
I've been following you for quite a while but only subscribed 10 minutes ago🙄. Trichromy, big contact sheet, ... Your projects inspire me enormously. I'm in the process of gathering material to make a large contact sheet/panorama. I've a question. How do you determine the number of degrees between two photos so they don't overlap ? Thanks a lot
I looked through the viewfinder and tried to line up the frames. I never got it perfectly lined up.
You're also limited to the granularity of your support equipment. Geared heads would be better for example.
my reaction with the second example was "joder, me cago en la puta", that shorta translates to "fuck, holy shit"
Trichrome contact sheet photo
I've actually been working on that!
@@atticdarkroom The headache to end all HEADACHES!
Buster rhymes did it best.
we did this in photo class in high school
