I can't imagine who even comes up with these concepts, let alone parents actually paying for it!

Woah.. I thought this was a topic about a former member whom I got along with so well.

Sadly, I'd say many aren't actually senior photos.. but would still wear the mantle for "horrible ideas"
And to think, some of them have the photographers watermarks on them! Gonna do some digging!

EDIT: Wow.. that "Prestige" place sucks so bad I'm speechless.

Not only are these images bad.. they're not even original!

The top one is from a *cough cough* former member here and the bottom one on the 100 list.

Being the largest photography company in the US, I'd say there's bound to be some misses every now and then.

Also, I'm gonna go ahead and say that a decent number of these photos are manipulated. Not in the "lets touch this up a bit before I send it to the family" manipulated, but "hey this would be a funny picture if he had a yugioh thing on his arm or a chainsaw in his lap" manipulated. In one picture it's clear that the body and head don't belong to the same person.
