When i was in preschool i didnt get any of my class photos. Im wondering if i get in contact with the company that takes the pictures will they still have my pictures? I'm in Gr 9 now so it was in 2000 when they took the pictures.
often it would be on their terms and conditions how long they kept negatives for.
In my experience it was 5 years min and in most cases I know of 10 years max. This was purely and simply because of the amount of storage required for a busy schools portrait company.
Also, they were often stored under reference numbers rather than names so it may be that if they do have them that you would have to somehow get along there to sort out which is you unless you have the original reference.

I was just trying to get an idea of where you went to school at, and do you have to go to a certain type of school for photography? Also, how long did it take you to become a photographer? I was just trying to get an idea of what it took to become a photographer.

I'm looking at majoring in photography and I'm interested in where others in the field studies. Any information/suggestions?
I think you need to be concerned more about where you can get the best photographic education today, not where the "dinosaurs" got theirs. In the US, the two best schools are RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) in New York, and Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California.
That being said, I highly recommend getting the basics at a local school, and work in the field as a "stringer" with a professional before investing in a degree program.
P.S. Most of the greats never went to a formal photography school.
Is there a flat fee for just being there? How much per class picture? How much for taking individual pictures?
If you mean something like a union scale type pricing, there are no set prices that photographers charge .
For big group happenings, like reunions they can charge according to their market. Different regional areas demand different moneys. A good photog in LA may charge $300-500 as a flat fee and $2-3 for each printable file plus if prints are wanted, a fee on those according to size of print. A photog in say Bandon, Oregon, may only be able to charge $150-400 flat rate and less per print and/or file.
Check your area. Ask to see a portfolio of the photogs works, try to get a feel for the person, 'invite' him/her to the affair by saying they are welcome to the buffet table and such.
Try to pick a person that is closer to the age group you are wishing to capture. Not that a 22 year old couldn't do nice work but if this is your 60th high school reunion, it may be a little awkward for both parties, but if it's only your 10th, well I hope you see what I mean.
Good luck!

'Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits': a photographer turns suffering into art
'Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits'
By Linda Gordon
Norton, 624 pp., $35
Photographer Dorothea Lange's dedication to a "visual life" began long before she owned a camera, which she insightfully called, "... a tool for learning how to see without a camera."
As a young girl, she skipped school to walk Manhattan's Lower East Side, transfixed by small snapshots of neighborhood life, beginning a visual education that would ultimately lead her to a photographic career documenting many of the most important social issues of twentieth-century America.
The power and iconic status of Lange's work, specifically that produced during the Great Depression, including the iconic photograph "Migrant Mother," has often overshadowed the photographer who created it. "Dorothea Lange; a Life Beyond Limits," reveals an artist struggling with intense ambition and public responsibility on one hand and a conflicted personal life on the other.
Linda Gordon, the Florence Kelley Professor of History at New York University, contributes extensive details of the volatile social and political events of the era, giving the book significant historical heft as well. Much has been written about Lange's work, but Gordon goes behind the camera with intimate details of Lange's private life and also suggests her underlying recognition of the limits of her craft. While striving for truth in her photographs, Lange held no fantasy that she or the viewer could understand the ultimately unknowable inner lives of her subjects, believing instead that her best photographs should ask questions.
How to Achieve Perfect Butterfly Lighting
Butterfly Lighting is one of the most flattering and artistic ways of lighting the face. As it’s name would denote, Butterfly Lighting is created by the way in which you angle the light to fall on the face of your subject. Often used by celebrity photographers, this style of lighting can be achieved by a single off camera light and a reflector.
Here’s a step by step guide of how to achieve perfect butterfly lighting:
1. Face your subject at 7.8 view: Start by facing your subject directly to the camera, then turn the head just to hide the far ear. This view of the face is most flattering as it minimizes the face.
2. Hold your off camera flash 1′ above your subject, and 3′ toward the front to eliminate any possible shadowing on the face. You will also create a shadow beneath the chin, thus hiding any excess weight there.
3. Place a reflector just below the edge of your frame. The closer your reflector is to your subjects chin, the more even the spread of light. This reflector will soften that shadow and eliminate a harsh contrast.
