Capturing Your Milestone Moments

On your graduation ceremony day, you will have the chance to have professional graduation photos taken by the specialists at Tempest Photography.

If you are graduating in November, please check through our information guides for when photography is open and where to find it!

Please note that photography will not be available after the 19.30 ceremonies.

Handshake Photos

On the day of your graduation, Tempest Photography will take a professional photo of your handshake.

You will be able to view and purchase your handshake photos after your ceremony in the Corn Exchange (Rochester) or the Marquee at Shirley Hall (Canterbury).

These photos can also be found online after your graduation. When on the website, please search for Kent University and then choose the date and time of your ceremony.

For photos from our Flickr albums, once the photos are made live, please contact us with the name of the album that the photo is within and the name of the photo. We will then have this photo removed for you.
