Behind the scenes on a professional photoshoot

February 24, 2021 - 2 min read

We recently hosted a photoshoot at our Burwood Campus with students who are currently studying on campus and online with Deakin University, Australia.

Each year, we organise sessions with professional photographers and Deakin students so that we have fresh and exciting imagery to share with the world. These photos are used to promote the University and show future students what the study experience looks like, encouraging them to take the next step towards their dream career and study at Deakin.

“Deakin students living and studying in Australia from all around the world join in to experience something different, make new friends, add another skill to their CVs and receive professional photos.”

Our photoshoots are a great opportunity for students to connect. Deakin students living and studying in Australia from all around the world join in to experience something different, make new friends, add another skill to their CVs and receive professional photos (perfect for your new LinkedIn headshot!).

Take a look below at what happens behind the scenes at a professional photoshoot and compare that to the finished product:

This year, we were also lucky to be able to shoot in building LC, the brand new home of Deakin Law School. LC is Deakin’s first sustainable building with key design features including: rainwater harvesting and use, glare control systems, modern warehouse-style gym facilities, wellness garden, and a fully accessible connection to end-of-trip active transport facilities.
