The colorful photos related to the theme Noise and the bright hues created by smoke bombs connected visually while capturing students in a way that is not typical in most yearbooks.

In my opinion, keeping the chin up makes all the difference. We naturally pull our heads downward, especially if we’re nervous or anxious. Because of this, when the chin is raised, the subject exudes confidence. Pulling the chin up also reduces neck lines and wrinkles, and it keeps the shadows from creeping into the neck. A raised chin also accentu...
Next, be sure to arch the back! All body types, in all shapes and forms, look beautiful and flattering with an arched back. Arching the back straightens out shoulders, pulls up the body, and accentuates feminine curves. The more extreme the arch, the more avant-garde and cool you can make the image look as well. Arching the back applies to both sta...
A pose concept that works well for literally everyone is the “one leg in, one leg out” rule! This rule (though it’s really more of a guideline) states that the body looks best when one leg is pulled out and the other one is bent more inward. For example, when posing in a chair, you could bend one leg toward your body and straighten the other one! I...
If you’re like me and are very flexible or double-jointed, hyperextension happens and you might not notice! Hyperextension refers to straightening a joint until it looks like it’s bent backward or broken. In a photograph, this is especially jarring and unflattering. I often make my arms look broken at the elbow when I straighten them because I don’...
When posing, don’t place your arms limp at your sides. You’re not a puppet; you aren’t floppy when no one is pulling the strings! Instead, use the arms as a tool to flatter your body. Instead of dropping the arms, press them against your body and bend them at the elbow, effectively laying your arms snug against your waist and hip. This directs more...
This tip is a great posing hack! You see, the best way to pose in a chair is sit on the edge, not against the back. Remember, you’re looking for great photos, not comfort! Of course, don’t sit so far forward that you constantly topple off. Just scoot that booty more to the front. Sitting on the edge frees up the legs and hips for posing. If you sit...
Shifting your weight is often very comfortable, and it’s also a great way to pose! Standing with balanced weight can look a bit forced, whereas standing with shifted weight is much more casual and interesting to look at. Plus, it gives you better arm-pose opportunities!
When in doubt, cross your legs! For women, positioning the legs straight out to the side can look cool, but it’s a very specific effect. Crossing the legs while standing or sitting makes for a more feminine look and really accentuates the hips.
If you’re looking to capture a drool-worthy walking shot, this is the big secret: You should walk like a deer! What I mean is that you need to exaggerate each step. Instead of walking normally, really pick up that leg and purposefully stretch it out in front of you before taking a step. The camera will capture it as an interesting and dynamic walk....
Known lovingly as “the universal angle”, a 45-degree angle can be seen in all forms of artwork. Featured in both the Mona Lisa and celebrity photographs, the 45-degree angle is so common that we almost don’t even notice it! Therefore, this pose is an essential one to learn.
