The Contact Sheet

By Steve Crist

Book Overview

Behind every great photograph is a story. For every noteworthy image there are many more images taken before and after "the moment" that are often left unseen to anyone but the photographer himself.

Featuring an array of original contact sheets from more than forty international photographers--including photographers new to the popular edition--"The Contact Sheet" allows in-depth insight into the subject matter and the photographic process, often revealing a deeper story that has not been told.
