Graduations

Penguin Photography have supplied official graduation day department photographs to the universities of Birmingham and Warwick since 1995 and, more recently, Edinburgh, Bath, East Anglia and Reading. Our photos grace the walls of homes all over the world providing great publicity for these universities.

Our highly efficient and streamlined operation ensures the most hassle-free service for the departments. Photographs are usually taken immediately after the graduation ceremony and we take care of orders and payment at the same time.

All our photographers have a minimum 5 years experience in setting up group photos, resulting in great photos taken in the minimum amount of time - a crucial factor on busy graduation days.

We take a traditional photograph with mortar boards on heads followed by one with them being thrown in the air. The latter makes for a truly wonderful memento of life at university.

We provide a complimentary set of photos to each department.

For more information, prices, or to book Penguin Photography, please contact Karoki or Mark.
