What is a yearbook photo?
A yearbook is a book published each year by a school to record the year, with a portrait of every student. In the 1990s, American yearbook portraits had a recognizable look: a mottled blue or gray backdrop, soft flash, a slight turn of the shoulders and the hair and clothes of the decade. The AI 90s yearbook trend recreates that look from a modern photo.

What does the 90s yearbook photo look like?
The yearbook photo looks like a real school portrait from 1996: head and shoulders, body slightly turned, a friendly smile, a 1990s hairstyle in your own hair color, a denim jacket, flannel shirt or turtleneck, the classic mottled blue-gray backdrop, soft frontal flash, light film grain and soft focus. There is no text, name or school logo.
