Yearbooks are great. They create instant visual memories from the day they are first seen to decades later down the road. Seeing yourself in a professional photo as well as with your classmates in clubs and teams will put lots of smiles on your face every time you turn a page.
While trends and styles change from generation to generation there are a few universal tips you will want to partake in when getting your photo taken for your class yearbook:
- Clothing: It is always best to wear solid colors or clothes with small patterns when taking your yearbook photo. Collared shirts are always a safe bet. Definitely stay away from large accessories as well as hats or any other type of headwear.
- Eyewear: If you choose to wear glasses in your yearbook photo make sure your lenses are non-reflective. You don’t want to your photo to include a glare in it.
- Hair: A good rule of thumb is to get your hair cut a week prior to your yearbook photo. This way it isn’t to overgrown but doesn’t look like you just got off the barber’s chair. In addition, it will also give you time to style it the way you want. For those with long hair and are using clips, try to stay away from ones that are too shiny as it to can cause a glare.
- Blemishes: Don’t be so concerned with a blemish or pimple on your face. With technology now, that can be virtually wiped away very quickly and easily.
