101+ Great Yearbook Photos

PHOTO BY KIRAT MOKHA Brookfield Central High School. Brookfield, Wisconsin This portrait is a great example of how to use contrast and selective color for dramatic effect. The spotlight from the upper right creates leading lines and showcases the emotion on the subject’s face, making you wonder what she’s thinking. The light creates selective focus and her position follows the rule of thirds. The entire picture is crisp and clear, with even her hands in focus. It’s easy for black and white photos to get muddy, so the photographer did a good job of keeping it crisp – the pop of yellow in her headscarf enriches that crispness, drawing attention back to her face. Cropping enhances this photograph to make it a standout.
