3 Things To Prepare For Your Convocation Photo Shoot

Introduction

Congratulations! You’ve graduated from your class with excellence. Now what's the next step? Time to get your photo taken! It is always important to commemorate important milestones in your life, and what better way to do it by capturing the precious moment in a photo that can last a lifetime? While it is common to have a photo shoot for your convocation, it is important to prepare ahead for the actual shoot so that you do not stress out and look good for the camera on the day itself! You can easily find convocation photography services near you. Here are some things that you should take note of and do before your convocation photo shoot!

1. Preparation for the shoot

• • • Research
      Before the day of the shoot, you should do some research! Look on the internet for examples of other people’s convocation photoshoots or graduation shoot ideas that you can take as inspiration. Prepare the photos and discuss them with the photo studio team so that both sides are aware of what can be done for the shoot and in what way the photos will be shot. It is important to communicate with the team to get the photos that you have in mind for the shoot. You can find a photographer in Singapore that can provide quality services for your convocation shoot.
    • Attire
      Ensure that you and those being photographed have a common understanding of what the theme of the shoot will be and what to wear for the photoshoot. For example, if you would want everyone in the photo to be wearing similar outfits or colors, make sure that everyone is aware of it and are on the same page. You would not want to have an awkward situation where someone is looking out of place because of their outfit! Additionally, check your graduation robe ahead of time to make sure that it fits you nicely and that there are no defects in your gown. Try it on and be comfortable with it before the day of the shoot.
    • Props
      What’s a photoshoot without props? Props can help to liven up the photoshoot and make the whole shoot experience more fun as a whole. You should think of props that you would like to bring or or create to feature in the photos. Some examples can be graduation balloons, oversized graduation signboards, colorful bouquets or even your pet! Have fun with it and use props to improve your fun shots.

2. Before the shoot

Before the shoot, it is important to have whatever that has been mentioned earlier completed and done. Most importantly, do not forget to bring everything that you need for the shoot! Make a list of things that you need to bring if you feel that you might forget something. Additionally, bring a set of safety pins and double-sided tape so that it can come in handy in the event that there are clothes or things that need to be kept in place and ensure that everyone looks great in front of the camera!

Do take note that you should arrange your hood exactly the way it should fall on the robe and tack the corners and areas that hold the fabrics together so that the gown looks proper and perfect throughout the shoot. If you are doing makeup before the shoot, don't forget to bring your makeup along so that you can get touch ups done if there is a need to during the actual shoot itself.

• • • Moments before the shoot
      During the night before the shoot, remember to rest well and be well prepared for the shoot the next day. Eat lightly an hour before the shoot, and refrain from having hearty meals right before the shoot as it might cause you to look bloated before the camera. Having some food will ensure you have energy to sustain through the shoot, with smiles and amazing poses!
