Although I spend most of my working life as a London family photographer, I also love creating beautiful graduation portraits. The students I photograph are at an exciting time in their lives, as they graduate from their universities and colleges. And it’s wonderful to capture their happiness in a series of natural portraits.
Natural family portraits
As well as taking lots of graduation portraits of the students on their own, I also include their families in some relaxed portraits. I just know these photographs of proud parents with their talented children will be treasured for generations to come.
The beautiful young lady in the photo below had just graduated from University College London. She had a wonderful time studying at this prestigious London university. And although sad it was over, she was also delighted to start making her way in the London working world. I look forward to seeing what she ends up doing. I think it’s going to be something pretty special!
University College London graduation portraits
She was such fun to spend time with, and incredibly easy to photograph. Her lovely smile and happy nature shone through in all her graduation portraits. I also really love the photos of her with her doting parents. They were obviously so proud of everything their daughter had achieved already in her life.
After we’d got a lovely selection of individual and group portraits, it was time to get something a little different. We were taking the photos in the grounds of University College London, and it had a beautiful stone staircase that I knew would look really striking in some of the photographs. I asked the young lady to walk down the stairs. As she made her way down the steps, she lifted both arms in the air so elegantly and I just love the resulting graduation portrait! This talented lady making her way carefully but confidently into the next stage of her life.
