Use a larger aperture to blur out possibly distracting background details, and shoot at a telephoto focal length (70-105mm is the ideal range) to get the most flattering results.

If you want to get fancy, place a reflector opposite the window to kick in more light. Fill the frame with the gown, include the tassel for a contrasting element, and shoot away.

A photo of the gown, which is most likely going to include the school’s colors, could be a lead photo in a sequence of images.

A mid-range zoom lens (28-70mm equivalent) is sufficient, although if you have a longer range lens that’s fine, too. The following 10 graduation photography tips can be followed no matter what digital camera you’re using, whether it’s a DSLR, MILC, or compact digital camera. Graduations are an important life event for the participants and their families, and a cause for celebration (especially for the parents, if it’s a college graduation, since they can now look forward to solvency).
