Our photographers will also be covering the Graduation Ceremony and will be photographing each Graduate as they go across the stage and are presented with their degree or diploma. These photos can be found, viewed and purchased via our Events Page or from our www.woolf.co.nz Home Page, usually within 24hours of a ceremony.

Our Michael Fowler Centre Foyer Studio Lighting Setups have a variety of options and packages starting from $75.00 which includes a Single Graduate, having a selection of 6-10 photos to choose from, and a 20x25cm( 10x8in) enlargement. Group Photos can also be accommodated. Digital files and framing can also be purchased. These Studio Lighting Setups can cater to groups of up to six or seven. If you have larger groups we can usually accommodate that in another area of the Michael Fowler Centre, where the background is more environmental.

Olivia has just returned to New Zealand after successfully gaining her degree at Yale University in The USA. Having gained a Rowing Scholarship Olivia achieved her degree over the four years, and now has a job back home in Wellington. To record the occasion Simon took a series of photos both in the studio and outdoors nearby our Ebor St Studio. With it having been a little wet weather wise we thought a final shot, brolly, degree and all, would take on a celebratory feel in spite of misty rain! The combination of having a studio and being able to take photos outdoors close by, is a real bonus.

It’s coming up to Graduation Time again in May and we are taking bookings already! To make an appointment please email hello@woolf.co.nz
