The Toss

It’s the cliché moment of graduation but you can’t finish your academic journey without throwing your cap in the air. This makes for a joyful shot you can really capture the emotion of what the past four years have been about. 

Diploma

With many schools and universities opting out of a graduation ceremony, you’ll probably already have your diploma sitting at home so why not capture it on camera. This can be a great solo shot or one with the graduate. 

Emotion

Graduation day can be a big moment not only for the graduate but their closest friends and family. A Covid-safe group shot adds the perfect touch of sentiment to your graduation album. 

Post-Grad Life

If you know you’re going on to college, traveling or moving cities for your first real job, capturing the next chapter of your life is a great shot. This can be the school hoodie, a postcard, or landmark keyring to show where you are to where you’re going. 

Celebratory Drinks

Now the ceremony aspect of your shoot is over, it’s time to kick back and party for the remainder of your shoot so why not crack open the bubbly and commemorate the occasion?
