As long as there has been photography there have been contact sheets. They have played a significant part in the photographic process of editing. Post selection they become an important visual reference and record. Contact Sheets are also an integral part of archiving work as well as being a finished work of art in their own right.

Exploring the ways contact sheets have been used throughout the decades, this exhibition brings to you the most thought provoking and fascinating contact sheets from members of the AOP. The exhibition will unveil a mixture of annotated contact sheets as well as unseen work from late AOP Member Patrick Lichfield of the Duke of Windsor tying a Windsor Knot.
