School Portrait Mocking

'We Have Lasers' Takes Aim at Retro 90s Backgrounds

I always hated picture day at school, and I know that many other people feel the same way. But you always looked forward to choosing that backgroud for your portrait; that is until 'We Have Laser' (laserportraits.net) came along.

Giving respect to the most hideous/glorious of portrait backdrops, We Have Lasers showcases those who dared to opt for the technicolour background. We all have a laser portrait somewhere, isn’t it time we brought them out and celebrated them through laughter?
