"I do love a contact-sheet!"

I do love contact-sheets of my work as they tell their own story of the progression of the shoot. Ive a number of them on my page. The next stage once I have chosen the final shot from the contact-sheet is I then write a few notes on them to my lovely printer Alison.


Alison knows my work back to front, inside out and upside down. My notes vary to what they are, sometimes they are just to remind me what settings the camera was on…or the reason I lit someone a certain away…or mainly just ramblings of a mad man.





The glorious thing is when you look at a contact-sheet with printer’s notes it actually looks like a work of art in itself. Raw and honest art. I think this actual print with notes blown up would look terrific on my office wall!

I do love a contact-sheet! The notes to your printer sound like a lovely ritual. Reminds me of the care behind every shot — a bit like スイカゲーム, where each small choice builds the whole. Beautiful work!

I liked the practical approach of explaining router settings in simple language. When searching for 10.0.0.0.1 piso wifi time, users may be looking for scheduling or access-management information, so it is helpful to remind them that available features vary by device and firmware.

The piece beautifully captures how one artwork can spark the creation of another, showing the way inspiration moves survival race from artist to artist across time. It’s a thoughtful reminder that creativity is never isolated — it’s a dialogue, a continuation, a shared visual language.
