“I’m Not throwing away my shot”: College Grad-Pic Ideas

Jean Nicole Dela Cruz

Imagine, all the cramming for exams, late nights studying, procrastinated projects, and the almost-everyday dilemma of waking up early has finally paid off.
It has been four to five years since you had your last graduation pictorials and a college grad-pic needs to be perfect picture in letting everyone recognize your accomplishments because it is the finale of a dream that deserves to be captured.

Here are some of the ideas which can help you distinguish yourself from other graduates with a unique pose. Make sure to look good for this is a once in a lifetime shot.

1. Pay your tribute and/or gratitude
You can’t survive college without your financially, emotionally, and physically pillars. It can be your parents, friends, guardians or scholarship organizations and/or people. You can use pictures and placards to express these.

2. The comfort food
Every single college student experienced stress and anxiety not even once. The answer—stress eating or grabbing your favorite comfort food. Why don’t you consider having this food on your creative shot?

3. Your ‘walwal’ life
For some college students, a bit of liquor will always be part of the system. The word ‘alak’ isn’t considered a taboo. The ‘tara inom’ after a stressing stage of the week or semester is kinda’ normal. Why not consider bringing your ‘walwal’ kit to be part of your creative shot?

4. The “jowa”
Sorry for single individual out there but this is one of the best creative shot idea you’ll had during college graduation pictorials. But remember, graduation picture is a lifetime memory so make sure that you and your partner will be the ultimate “forever mag-jowa”.

5. Your life-hugots
You can also use your famous quotations and hugots. This is one of your legacy!
6. YOU are you
Make it worthy, who are you as the college you. What’s your uniqueness? Be the ultimate fab. Make your creative shot show your identity.

7. Break-away
If you’re considered as the ‘chick’ and the ‘papi’ of the class (yes, hello muse and escort), or the beauty queen and king, why not unleashed the spectacular you and make the best glamour shot ever.

Regardless of anything, remember that your creative shot is nothing if you’re just doing it to impress others. Astonish your self, strike a pose, and make the most out of it.
