The contact sheets and photos selected by internationally renowned contemporary photographers create a new and original story of today’s photography. Every picture which is presented tells us the views of the author, and the reproduction of the contact sheets gives us the opportunity to understand how the photographer came to this unique choice. The photographer’s comment, which accompanies each picture, illuminates this choice and shows that the measure of the post-shooting work determines how strong the public view of the picture will be.
While the process of picture editing can be either emotional or intellectual, most of the time it’s both. Considerations such as content (the story or idea), composition, light, focus, and the feeling & quality of the image are some of the components. Different photographers make different choices at different times, favoring one element over another.
