Get creative!

It's time of year again to think of the creative graduation shots for college seniors out there. And while most don't pay much attention to these kind of details, we say that your graduation picture speaks a LOT about who you are and where you'll probably end up in the future. So with that said, we argue that thinking of what your creative picture would look like is one of the things you should take time for :) But don't worry too much my dears, we at PK are sooooo nice, we've listed a couple of ideas for you!

1. Movie Character - Do you have a favorite movie character you want to portray? Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's perhaps or how about Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider? (if you ask me, I'll go with Elle Woods from Legally Blonde or Carrie Bradshaw from Sex In the City) Well, now you have the chance to go dress up like them!
PK Tip: Widen your spectrum! There are a lot of movies and a lot of genres! There's romance, horror, action, chick flicks, drama, you name it! I'm sure there's one character that will fit your personality to a tee.

(Jennifer Love Hewitt as Audrey Hepburn)
2. Dream Job - You're young and idealistic and there's nothing wrong with that! If you have a good idea of what you want to be in the future, then start visualizing (and dressing like it) today! It'll be fun to look back on your Creative shot decades from now and see your dream becoming reality!
PK Tip: Try finishing this phrase: When I grow up...

3. What you cannot live without - Are you a coffee addict? Or a dictionary freak? Well it's time to tell the world! Everyone who'll see your picture will agree that it's very you! It will definitely make your creative shot scream YOU! in every way.
PK Tip: You don't have to choose one thing. You can have a lot of things in tow. But of course, it'll make a better statement if you go with just one :)

4. Personal stand/sign - Whether you're vegan or have a soft spot for animals, it's time to tell the world! This way, you'll not just make a personal statement, you'll also be advocating some cause.
PK Tip: Have a clear statement printed out so your personal stand won't be misinterpreted. That'll be the worst thing that could happen with a picture.

5. Who you're known for - Are you the Class Geek? Campus Heartthrob? School rockstar? Or just the spoiled brat? Now's the time to show your true colors and wear them loud and proud!
PK tip: Try asking around for other people's opinion, you'll be surprised what you get :)

6. Vanity pic - Now's the peak of your beauty so what better way to document it with a good creative shot? It's time to let the inner model in you come out and show people what you got! Believe me girl, you have it in you, you just have to have confidence!
PK tip: It's better if you focus on just your face so people would know it really is a vanity shot.

7. Costume - Ever gone cosplaying? Well, here is your chance! You can go as you anything imaginable! Go as a witch, a wizard, a fairytale princess, a goddess, or any other comic and fictional character you can think of!
PK Tip: Try browsing around your book collection, you'll sure get ideas from there

8. Seasons - We just have two seasons in the country but it doesn't mean you can't act like there's no winter or autumn here! If you particularly love a certain season, why dont' you go wearing the trendiest "seasonal" outfit out there? :)
PK Tip: If you do decide to go with this, go all out okay? Wear faux fur for winter, bikinis for summer, and rainboots for the rainy season. You're just "creating" a season so you have to pull this off on your own.

10. Larger than life (stuff enlarged) - This is one of my favorite ideas ever! Remember when America's Top Model had a "barbie" photoshoot? Well, this is very much like that! You can go as small toys or stuff that are enlarged! So cute!
PK Tip: You don't have to be the actual "stuff". You can just bring something that's big for its size like maybe a LARGE cocktail glass with you in it or a large cake with you as the "candle" on top. The possibilities are endless!


So there! Some ideas to help you decide on your Creative Picture! Be excited about this because this is one of the things you'll only be having once in your College life. Advance congratulations for making it to senior year! :)

If you're wondering what S and I picked for our Creative shots, wonder no more:
