School photographs

There's one of me with classmates on the internet 😲
We must have had a photographer come into school to take informal photos.
No, I'm not uploading it 😀

I haven’t any of my primary school group photos, and they’re the ones I’d like to see. Two of my schools were in small villages and only had 30 or so pupils in all - perhaps they weren’t worth the photographer’s while.

I’m about to update the DGS photos we have on display, and asked about the school ones. One school’s charging £20 for an 8 x 6, but at least it has two of them on. Another’s charging £15, but the boys were taken separately - parents had to take them in for a special Saturday session if they wanted a family photo. And the nursery ones weren’t up to much, apparently. It’s not going well!

Going to the local tip a few years ago we saw boxes of school photos just dumped in a skip.
Makes you a bit scared about what happens now to the ones not bought.

There is no obligation whatsoever for parents to buy school photos.

Indeed.

Truly no need for photo packets stuffed in store containers.

CHRIS8888 Nothing should be printed that isn't ordered that cuts down waste ,thats because downloads are available a lot of .Photographers dont print on spec anymore ,it was very expensive to do as professional printing has always been more expensive than a high street lab

Professional photographers do cock up though, it was probably those in the skip. My son had professional photos taken at his graduation, but the photos that arrived weren’t him. It took ages, but eventually we sorted it out and received the correct ones - I presume the incorrect ones were disposed of?

Nearly as bad as the wrong school reports!

I was very very limited fr money when the kids were at school but I always bought their school photos
But I think there is more taken now than then

I know, he was actually quite upset because he thought they had completely lost his photo!
