Thoughts from Our Graduates
Sophie Malki '21
My group’s graduation photography session with Bitanga Productions greatly exceeded our expectations! Bitanga Productions is very responsive and professional leading up to our session and accommodating to our requests. They gave us great suggestions for how to pose in individual and group photos, including for candid pictures. They were energetic and cheerful, making the experience really fun, even as the rest of us started to get a little tired by the third location we walked to. I am so glad that we found their services and would definitely recommend them!

I booked my graduation photos with Bitanga Productions and I could not have asked for a better photographer, experience, and photos! They made me very comfortable throughout the shoot and were very flexible with my preferences. Their prices are justifiable and they delivered my photos much quicker than expected. I recommend them to everyone I know!

Bitanga Productions was amazing throughout the entire experience! They captured my graduation photos so well and allowed me to commemorate such a special moment. They were helpful in terms of telling me how to pose, directing me, and getting amazing photos in such a quick and timely manner. I also truly appreciate how nice and genuine they were especially to the guests I brought, truly a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend it!
You've spent years becoming the person who earned this moment.
You survived problem sets at 2 AM, recruiting season, and quarters that tested everything you had. You built something real here. Not just a degree, but an identity.
And now it's almost over.
Commencement weekend will come and go faster than you think. Your family will fly home. Your friends will scatter to new cities. The campus that shaped you won't be yours to walk through anymore.
You want photos from this moment. You know that. But between finals, packing up your life, and the thousand logistics of actually graduating, figuring out a photographer feels like one more thing on a list that's already too long.
And honestly? Part of you is worried the photos won't even be worth it. That you'll show up, feel awkward in front of the camera, and end up with the same stiff, generic poses you've seen flooding your Instagram feed every June.
Cap on, diploma up, forced smile. Identical to everyone else.
You didn't spend four years at Stanford becoming a specific, interesting person just to look like a stock photo on graduation day.
Photos that feel the way this chapter felt.
What if your graduation photos actually captured you, not just the robe,but the person inside it?
Photos where you're laughing because something was genuinely funny. Where the light is doing something beautiful and you didn't even notice because you were just... present.
Where your family sees the image and says, "That's exactly who you are."
Photos you won't just post once and forget. Photos you'll frame for your first apartment, send to your grandparents, and pull up ten years from now when you need to remember what it felt like to stand on this campus and know you belonged here.
That's what this is about. Not content. Not a photo shoot. A permanent record of one of the most important chapters of your life, captured the way it deserves to be.
This is exactly what I do.
I photograph a limited number of Stanford graduates each year because sessions like this shouldn't feel rushed, impersonal, or templated.
When you book with me, you're not getting a photographer who shows up, puts you in five poses, and sends you a gallery. You're getting someone who understands that you probably have no idea what to do in front of a camera — and that's completely fine.
I guide every moment of the session. Where to stand, what to do with your hands, how to move so the photos feel natural instead of forced. Most of my clients tell me afterward that they were nervous beforehand and then genuinely had fun.
Your spring quarter is stressful enough. This should be the one thing on your list that's easy.
Why I photograph Stanford graduations.
I know what it means to walk this campus and feel the weight of
what it took to get here.
I studied at the Graduate School of Education, and before that, I was at Cornell — so I understand the kind of intensity that comes with institutions like this one.
That's why graduation photography matters to me more than most photographers. I don't see it as just taking someone's picture. I see it as documenting a transition, the last time you'll be a student here, the first time you'll carry this degree into the world.
Every session I shoot, my goal is the same: make sure the photos match the magnitude of the moment. Nothing generic. Nothing rushed. Just you, this campus, and the kind of images that make your family tear up in the best way.
