If the yearbook photography for every high school was consistently like the stuff in the 'Freaks & Geeks' series, the book would be about more than just notes from friends. With ridiculously vibrant gradients and whimsically manipulated pictures, this photo shoot looks like it was a lot of fun to make.
The shoot was captured by photographer Weston Doty, who shows an incredible amount of creativity with this series. Between upside-down faces and cats with glowing crystals on their heads, the series has a very abstract feel.
The photo series was created for the yearbook issue of Re: Magazine. With such a playful and surreal series, the issue is sure to captivate readers and have them flipping back and forth through all of the pages.
