Chapter 1: Photography Basics
Yearbook photography is more than just snapping pictures…it's about capturing the spirit of the school, one moment at a time. Whether you're covering sports events, club meetings, or hallway laughs, your photos help tell the story of your sch...
Chapter 2: Composition Basics
Let's face it. ANYONE can snap a photo. But taking a GREAT photo? That takes a little know-how, a bit of planning, and a good eye for composition. Good composition comes from practice and an understanding of the essentials…rules you can fo...
Chapter 3: Lighting Basics
Lighting is everything in photography. It affects the mood, the shadows, the colours...basically, how your photo turns out. Good lighting can make a photo pop, while bad lighting can make it look flat or blurry. Here’s how to work with differe...
Chapter 4: Photo Organization
Keeping your photos organized is just as important as taking them. With hundreds (or even thousands) of images coming in from events, sports, clubs, and candid moments, a solid system can save your yearbook team time, stress, and last-minute ...

Handing a student a camera and saying "go take pictures" seems simple, but without clear direction you're unlikely to get the results you're looking for. You want the right moments captured the right way, for a specific purpose. B...

Chapter 8: Stage Photography
Stage photography is one of those magical parts of yearbook work, where drama, music, and dance come to life in still images. Whether you're capturing a high school musical, a jazz band concert, or a ballet recital, the goal is still the same...
Chapter 9: Capturing Clubs
Not every student is taking a bow or scoring goals, but that doesn't mean they aren't doing amazing things. From robotics to yearbook, chess to student council, school clubs and organizations are full of energy, creativity, and community. Th...
Chapter 10: Photo Stories
A photo story, also called a photo essay, is basically storytelling through pictures. It's a powerful way to capture the heart of an event, a moment, or even a person's experience all without needing a single word (although captions help!). ...
Chapter 11: Beyond the Headshot
Open any yearbook, and you'll see they're full of head-and-shoulders portraits. Of course these are important, but they're not the only way to tell a story! If you want to add more personality, creativity, and visual interest to your book, t...
