These Awkward Prom Photos Will Make You Grateful High School is Over

Some prom photos go for simple smiles, but this one went straight for glamour studio drama. She’s laid out on a faux fur rug in her white gown and gloves, giving a soft smile to the camera, while he sits behind her in a tux, casually holding her hair like it’s part of the pose.

The black background with glowing stars makes it feel more like a wedding catalog than a high school dance memory. Between the unusual pose, her shoes kicked off in the background, and the overly serious vibe, it ends up looking more awkward than romantic.
