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.

Everlasting bonds in PKU

photographs can never be complete without company. Loves, friends,
