Graduation Photography

A graduate smiles as their picture is taken using a phone, which can be seen being held in the corner of the picture. The graduate holds a black mortar board hat with a red tassel and wears a black graduation gown on top of a long stone coloured dress.

The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø offers professional graduation photography through Graduation Attire, with studio sessions available in the Lowry studios.

Booking photography packages

You can pre-book your studio photography package from the wide range of options on the Graduation Attire booking portal at the same time you hire your gown. You can also talk to the Graduation Attire team at the studios on the day to upgrade or amend your photography product choice. You can also just show up to studios on the day.

Studio sessions

Graduation Attire provide the official photography for your ceremonies, and you can find them in Studio 1 on Level 2 of the Lowry. 

You’re welcome to visit the studios before or after your ceremony, but we strongly recommend going beforehand. You’ll be newly gowned, feeling your best and more likely to avoid queues.

Standard photography sessions include two poses: 

  • Pose 1: Your Individual Graduate photograph – this will be taken first. The photographer will ask you to stand on a marked spot, help you find the right position and hand you a scroll to hold. This is your moment - smile, success looks good on you!
  • Pose 2: Group photograph - the photographer will invite your guests to join you. to join you. They’ll organise your group, and depending on how many people you bring, some guests may be seated while others stand.

Group Photographs will include the graduate and up to 5 guests for no additional charge. For photos with more than 5 guests, an additional £25 editing fee applies. 

You’ll have the option to purchase digital copies of any additional poses taken on the day.

Delivery

Your photographs will be uploaded to an unedited online gallery to view within a few days of your ceremony. You'll then have 14 days to select the photographs you would like, and these will be sent to the editing team. Photographs will then take 6-8 weeks to be edited (background and light adjustments), printed and dispatched, and once ready, photographs will be posted within 2-3 working days.

Onstage Photography

Graduation Attire prints

Photographers will be present during the ceremonies to photograph every graduate crossing the stage. Onstage Photos are separate to the Studio Photos, and these can be purchased immediately after the ceremony online or via one of the Graduation Attire print stations, located in the Lowry foyer (so you have something to take away on the day!).
