12 Unforgettable Graduation Photo Ideas

4. A theater photoshoot

Perhaps the graduate would like to one day be a successful dramatic actor. If so, why not rent this Versatile Downtown Denver Theater? That way, the aspiring thespian can dress up as their favorite dramatic character for their graduation photo and even perhaps perform a monologue or two. Totally aspirational and so much fun! In fact, why not fill the audience with his or her friends as encouragement!

5. A gallery photoshoot

Is the graduate an artist? You can rent this Spacious Contemporary Art Gallery in Chicago, IL for your graduation photo ideas. Perhaps you can even put all the aspiring artist’s artwork up on the walls for the photoshoot. Isn’t that a lovely idea?

6. A botanical photoshoot

Is the graduate a botanist in training who would one day like to work in a botanical garden? If so, you could conduct the photoshoot in this oasis of Frank Lloyd Wright Style Homes nestled in a Redwood Forest in Occidental, CA. The host describes it as “Two small homes connected by decking, in a redwood forest and surrounded by a botanical garden setting with 40,000 rhododendrons.”

7. An art museum photoshoot

Perhaps the graduate would one day like to be the director of an art museum. Consider conducting your graduate photoshoot in this Contemporary art museum with 15 immersive exhibits in Los Angeles, CA. “Each of our fifteen rooms is created by a leading contemporary artist who may have shown work in MoMa or the Guggenheim.” 

8. An elementary photoshoot

If the graduate aspires to be a children’s librarian or an elementary school teacher, this venue is a perfect setting for a graduation photoshoot. The Library Setting for Filming in Toronto, Canada is a “facility that includes unique classrooms, computer labs, library, recording studios. offices and student lounge in a heritage building built in 1909.” The building is virtually indistinguishable from the original. What a fun setting for a future elementary teacher or librarian’s graduation photoshoot.

9. A chapel photoshoot

Perhaps the graduate intends to go into a religious profession. If so, a graduate photoshoot in the Historic Dupont Chapel, Library & Parlor in Washington, D.C. might be in order. The space is described as follows: “An ornate spiral staircase and 2-tone brick walls will lead you to the chapel. Inside is a high ceiling accentuated by dark wooden beams.” Perhaps the prospect of preaching in front of a congregation will be exciting (or terrifying).
