Peking University, June 23, 2022:"3, 2, 1 - say cheese!" In the heat of summer, the air bubbling with laughter and the sweetness of wisteria, graduation season has arrived. While PKU graduates close a monumental chapter and move to explore new frontiers, they don caps, gowns and capture the most beautiful moments of their youth in photographs.
Finding yourself in PKU
Graduation photographs revisit the past. We drop by our favorite places on campus, roam the familiar roads, and capture the sights and sounds of school life which we are soon to part with. Revisiting these with a ceremonial outfit brings to mind the memories we've had growing up and discovering ourselves in these spaces. These photographs brim of our tenuous and emotional journeys coming into our own.
