Where do the photos in the classmates.com advertisements come from? These look straight from my HS yearbook.?

Answer 1

are your sure? because most ad developers rely on either photo shoots or image banks. In this case it is highly unlikey it was a photo shoot, I would bet on an image bank.

Image banks get their pictures from photographers and they use a revenue sharing scheme, while others organize specialzied photo shoots to serve the advertising industry.

It is possible that a certain image bank bought the rights for these pictures from a school or university.
