100+ Great Yearbook Photos

PHOTO BY LAUREN ROOK This weightlifter is accomplishing a challenging task, and his expression lets you know how difficult it is. You can almost feel his pain.

The entire room is watching, and the face of the student immediately behind the weightlifter lets you know how impressive his feat is – whether his jaw is dropped in awe or he’s shouting encouragement. The bar stretches from one side of the frame to the other, while the student in front fills it from nearly top to bottom. This photo was taken from slightly off-center, which helps keep your eye on the main student while providing a good view of the crowd. The depth of field keeps the front two competitors in focus and the onlookers out of focus. Although it can be difficult to achieve good white balance and lighting in gymnasiums, this photographer succeeded. AND REACTION
