There are several options available to seniors for inclusion the senior portrait sections.
Option1: Free Photo - Mr. Chambrose or a member of the yearbook staff can take an excellent, high-quality photo for the senior to use for the yearbook's senior portrait section. Our suggestion if for the senior to wear a nice shirt/top for this photo.
Option 2: Professional Photo - Seniors may also choose a professional photographer to take portraits. The photographer should submit a head/shoulders shot for this section of the yearbook. The yearbook staff would appreciate a digital copy to ensure a quality print. It is imperative that seniors not wait to have this photo taken. Professional photographers often have a very busy schedules that will not allow for a quick turnaround. If the senior chooses this option, it is important to schedule the photo shoot with the photographer early in the school year.
In the past, students have brought in "selfies" or photos from Facebook or other social media. These photographs are not of a satisfactory quality and will not be published. Below are the specifications for the photographs the yearbook staff requires of the seniors for the portrait section.
Specifications: All photos must conform to the following specifications for inclusion in the yearbook. These specifications ar ein place to ensure a quality product. The yearbook staff reserves the right to request a different photography should the submitted photo not meet the following specifications.
1. The photo would be best send as a jpeg. or brought in on a flash drive. The photo should be at least 1000x1000 pixels for clarity.
2. The photo should have 1/4" between the top of the head and the edge of the photo. This allows for proper placement of the photo.
3. Clear focus; no soft focus or misty effects. These treatments make the photograph look blurry and of poor quality. No hats, feet arms, hands or props that might intrude upon the subject's face. A professional headshot is the goal.
4. Background should contrast with hair color. This avoids the "floating head" issue. For example, dark background for blondes, and light background for brunettes. A professional photographer will ensure that this is done properly.
5. An electronic submission with the student's name and Senior Photo in the subject line are preferred. Send all photos for the yearbook to Mr. Chambrose.
Should there by any question about the photo, the yearbook staff will happily discuss this with either the senior or the parent. Our goal is to ensure a great looking senior section.
