PS. And one more question:
As Larry concluded as well, - it looks like the photographer used an
on-camera flash, most likely direct one (not bounced).

So, is it unreasonable to expect something like a couple of umbrella or soft-box lights for this type of photographs?

We are talking about a school with 600+ students, so, roughly 30+ groups to photograph and all the individual photos. These numbers tell me that
given the volume, a good light set-up is warranted.
(I can see that a photographer might be too lazy to bring and set up
much of equipment for for just 1-2 groups).

So, here comes my question: On this year photograph, I see two kids with
their eyes closed, and three with their eyes not visible at all because
their glasses were totally covered by the flash reflection.
So, 5 out of 19 kids (and 3 teachers) have their eyes not visible.
Do you think this is normal?


I suspect that their low paid photographers don't know their craft, and possibly even have to supply their own equipment. That sounds to me like someone who uses an on camera flash with a pre-strobe which causes a lot of kids to blink just in time for the photo.
