Graduation Portraits at Adelaide University

An evening around Adelaide University, with graduation portraits, family hugs, a stop in the library and portraits against the city lights.

Making an evening of it

We made an evening of this graduation session at Adelaide University, with individual portraits, family photos and a wander around campus.

There were photos with mum, photos as a couple and a few hugs in Bonython Hall. I shot a mix of portraits looking at the camera and the little moments in between.

Around campus

We stopped at the big blue university letters, then headed into Bonython Hall for photos by the illuminated AUSGRADS sign. The cap and gown stayed in for some shots; the white outfit and flowers had their own turn too.

Outside, the sandstone doorways, columns and steps gave us a few different spots to work with. I shot wider to include the buildings, then came in closer for the family portraits.

Graduating soon?

    Bookshelves and city lights

    The library was on the wish list, so we made time for it. We took some portraits between the bookshelves and a few playful photos together in the aisles.

    We carried on after dark too. The last few couple portraits were on a bridge, with the city lights in the background.

    Faqs

    Frequently asked questions

    Absolutely. We can do photos on your own, as a couple and with the family in the same session. Let me know who’s coming so we can allow time for everyone.
    Let me know your graduation date, ceremony time, who’s joining you and where you’d like the photos taken. Mention any access needs or spots on campus you really want to include.
    No. I’ll give you some direction as we go. You don’t need to turn up with a list of poses, and we can mix the more formal photos with a walk, a chat and photos together.
    Yes. Tell me which buildings or spots you have in mind and we’ll work out a route. We’ll also check access and leave time to get between them.
    We can look at it. Let me know which library you’d like to use so we can check access and any photography rules. A library stop was part of this session.
    Starting before sunset gives us daylight to work with outside. We can carry on after dark with flash too. Tell me your ceremony time and we’ll work out what fits.
    Yes. We can include both. If you’d also like to change outfits, let me know beforehand so there’s time to change without rushing the photos.

    (BnB Photography & Videography) Corey was an absolute pleasure to work with, incredibly communicative, personable, and genuinely professional from start to finish. He has a natural talent for capturing the true essence of every shot, both in photography and videography. His eye for detail and ability to bring a space to life through his lens is exceptional. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, Corey is the one. Highly recommend!

    Corey did a great job with our air BnB, the photography was exactly what we were after and couldn’t have come out any better. Very quick and easy to contact as well which made the whole experience seamless.

    Corey captured the most special day of our lives perfectly! He accepted our last minute booking, was diligent in organising the shots that were required, and delivering the most incredible album for us to remember the day by. We cannot recommend him enough!

    Couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Corey from Shameless Visuals made our wedding day feel relaxed and fun while still capturing everything perfectly. The photos are incredible — a mix of candid moments, creative shots, and those timeless images you actually want to hang on the wall. If you’re looking for Adelaide wedding photography that’s genuine, stress-free, and beautifully edited, this is the guy. Every detail was covered — from getting-ready shots to the dance floor chaos — and the turnaround time was super quick. Easily one of the best wedding photographers in Adelaide, and I’d recommend them to anyone who wants natural, professional photos without the awkward poses.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Corey for my graduation photos. The photos turned out natural, beautiful, and minimal, just the way I wanted. He guided me with the poses I had shown him beforehand and made sure I felt comfortable during the shooting. The edits were perfect, and he was very attentive to my requests, which made me really happy with the final results. I truly appreciate his effort, and I’d highly recommend him!

    I couldn't be happier with the images captured at our Awards dinner over the weekend. Our guests and the venue were beautifully shot and the result is a wonderful collection of special images we will all treasure. Cory was so easy to work with, he was always available to answer any of my questions, arrived ahead of time, was professional and able to capture the evening in an intimate and warm way. I'm already booking him for our event next year!
