UCI offers great various location for graduation pictures despite being quite small in size.
Places like Aldrich Park, MSTB Flower Arch, Business School and the popular Infinity Fountain are just a few great spots to name.
Here are just a few small tips that I believe will help you capture some great graduation pictures with friends or family members.
Camera Gear lens: 85mm and 35 prime lense. These two lenses give you a wide variety of choices for your pictures. The 35 mm is great at some narrow spots like the stairs on business school. The 85 mm lens has a great bokeh and blur the background to add a lot more depth to your picture. This lens is great in front of the MSTB and the infinity fountain.
Time: 4-6 pm for golden hour effect.
Locations: below are some of my favorite spots
1. Paul Merage Business School
