This commercial is not depicting a real event, but show's a professional photo shoot pretty well. Plus it's funny. Teacher wears the same outfit for yearbook photos for 40 years :) Story here. ps. Did you see Mr. Evans' photos in the last few yearbooks?
Full list of photos here. Photographer Sandro Miller and Actor John Malkovich "teamed up to recreate some of history's most iconic portraits, naming the resulting body of work "Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters." "Eighteen months ago I flew to France to see John, armed with a package of 30 iconic images by 28 master photographers, and to tell him about my idea for a new project," Miller explained... he and a team of experts spent the next eight months dissecting every last detail of the photos, an effort to ensure the project honored -- not mocked -- the original photographers. "My biggest fear was that people wouldn’t take this project seriously. I didn’t want these to be a parody," Miller said in the statement. "I was serious about paying homage to these photographers and photographs that changed my perspective on photography. These images inspired me throughout my career and developed me into the photographer I am today ... This is my way of saying thank you to the masters that created these amazing images."

From this article: "U.K.-based photographer Andrew Whyte shows us the world through the lens of just such a small artist in a new photo series called “The Legographer.” These expertly composed photos, which Whyte took on his iPhone every day for a year, feature a Lego Man, rocking a Lego knit cap instead of the famous bowl cut, lugging around a Lego camera and taking pictures that we will never see... “I love to document everyday things and build them into mini-series,” Whyte says. “But quite often there's nothing cohesive about what I shoot from one day to the next. As soon as my kids discovered the camera accessory at the Lego store, which fits in the hand of a mini-figure, I worked out a way to start placing the character in my day-to-day shots and he became a cohesive element. For the whole year, I really never left home without the figure.” Using just his iPhone 4S, Whyte still managed to capture some fantastic shots of his heroic lensman in action using a bunch of practical tips. Holding the phone upside down, for instance, rendered the lens low enough to look up at the figure and give him a sense of magnitude. The difference in depth of field, by which the background turns blurry, occurs naturally depending on how close Whyte positions the camera to the figure, often less than 8 to 10cm apart. “At that proximity, shuffling a few mm forwards or backwards can make a big difference to focus and the relative size of the figure,” the photographer says. Additionally, for lighting, Whyte uses apps that let him separate focus from exposure so he can dial in the desired levels without having to compromise on the arrangement of the scene." Gallery here. We've done some pretty awesome experiments in yearbook this year with the athletic team photos and interesting lighting we've never tried before - I'm excited to have people see them in June. Lighting totally makes a photo - next time you're taking a photo try turning off all the overhead lights and turn on lamps. And don't use a flash (this may darken the room so you need to set your camera on a tripod or a table though) - much better photo. This photo on the side is a great idea, haven't tried it myself yet. Macro pictures of snowflakes by Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov. More pics on his photostream here. I found the original article here. There's a link where he shares the setup he created for others who want to replicate it. Note: Some of them look like a hairy background? That's because they've fallen onto carpet.
This was made with stop motion animation. Printed out 300 pictures to make it, and of course planning the story ahead of time.
