Getting photos for the yearbook seems to be an easy task – but there is more to photography than pointing the camera and pressing a button. The photos in the yearbook capture the moments of the entire year…so the pressure to get great photos is definitely high. Here are some images to share with the staff, breaking down some of the basics, and serving as examples of some more technical attributes and ideas. This will help the students to go out and get some great shots for the yearbook!
