Nedim and Seckin recently graduated from LSE (London School of Economics) and wanted to celebrate with a graduation photoshoot around some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Central London is perfect for this style of session, giving a mix of backdrops, classic architecture, and that unmistakable London feel.


We started in Westminster with a classic red telephone box, with Big Ben in the background. From there, we photographed near Parliament Square, using the statues and the London skyline to give the images a nice feel.

Next, we headed to the South Bank, capturing portraits by the River Thames with the London Eye behind. We then moved onto Westminster Bridge, with Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament as the backdrop for clean, editorial graduation portraits.

To finish, we took a few quieter images along the riverside and beneath the Westminster Bridge arches, framing Big Ben for one last iconic London moment.

If you’re graduating and want your photos to feel classic, elevated, and truly London, I’d love to capture it for you. I photograph graduation sessions, couples, families, and travellers across London, with simple posing guidance throughout so it still feels natural and relaxed.
