100+ Great Yearbook Photos

PHOTO BY ARIELLE BADER The unique vantage point of this underwater photo makes it truly excellent. It’s cropped perfectly, with the swimmer’s hand at the lower left of the frame. The depth of field keeps that front hand out of focus, with the swimmer’s face in focus. The leading lines created by the lane dividers guide the eye to the swimmer’s face, which falls along the rule of thirds. The end marks in the background create repetition behind him. Underwater photos can be tricky, but it’s nice that they don’t allow for any “dead space.” The light and water create patterns throughout the entire image.
