I almost want to say it's a photog working for a clothing manufacturer who's putting together a portfolio to send to advertising illustrators.

Contact sheet doesn't make much sense either, because small-format film doesn't fit with school photos typically done with larger-format view cameras.<br /><br />Maybe I'm a contrarian here, but those animated expressions don't look at all like institutional photography.
