The Best Graduation Pictures For Boys
1. Grab The Cap
This is a really cool and unique grad picture idea for guys! I love how it is kind of blurry at the bottom and captures some movement. It’s definitely not your average grad pic, but I love that about it!
2. Stair Pose
You really can’t go wrong with posing on some stairs for grad pics. Some of my favorite of my own graduation pics were taken on stairs!
3. Wall Lean Pose
This is another graduation picture pose for guys that you really can’t go wrong with! It is super easy and simple to recreate, and looks great.

4. Elbows On Knees Pose
You could do a pose like this sitting pretty much anywhere on campus! If there are any spots that you are particularly fond of and want to remember, make sure to get some picures there.
5. Toss The Cap At The Camera
Cap toss pictures are some of my personal favorite grad pictures. They might take a few tries to get right, but they always turn out super cute if you can get it right.
6. Tassel Pic
This is another simple and foolproof graduation picture pose you could try. You basically just have to hold your tassel in front of the camera!

7. Walking Away Holding Up Cap Picture
This picture is giving “I’m out!” vibes, and I love it. To recreate it, you’d toss your gown over your shoulder and then just hold your cap up as you’re walking away from the camera.
8. Fixing The Watch Pose
Something about this picture gives off very cool vibes. I have a feeling this picture was a candid and not posed, but it’d be a really cool picture to recreate for grad pics.
9. Cheesin Picture
This picture is so cute and wholesome. I love how it really captures the celebratory energy of graduating. Like “I did it!!” So cute.

10. Toss The Cap Up
Another way you could do a cap toss picture is by tossing the cap straight up instead of at the camera. I’ve seen tons of pics of people doing this pose turn out great.
11. Full Body Wall Lean Picture
The other wall lean picture was a little more close up than this one. Another way to do a wall lean pic is to do a full body one like this! I love how you can see the whole ‘fit here.
12. Holding The Cap In Front
I am not the biggest fan ever of the black and white on this picture, but if that’s your vibe, it could be a very classic and timeless grad pic! I mostly like this pose. It’d be pretty easy to recreate by just holding the cap by two of the points.
13. Peace Out
Grad pics that really capture the celebratory “I’m done” vibe are some of my favorites. This kind of picture would be perfect for that! It’d also be a good personality pic.

14. Low Angle Steps Picture
There is something very regal and stoic about this graduation picture angle and pose. I think the filter/ editing also really does something for the vibe. This would be perfect to take in front of a building you spent a lot of time in at college! I took some pictures like this on the steps in front of my business school’s building (because I was a business major).
15. Leaning On The Rails Pic
This is another pose that wouldn’t be too difficult to recreate! You could do this leaning on pretty much any kind of railing you can find.
16. Grab The Other Wrist Pose
If you’re taking sitting pictures, this pose would be really good to try! It’d also be super easy. All you really have to do is put your elbows on your knees (or around there, wherever is comfortable) and then grab right above your wrist on one of your hands!

17. Gown Over The Shoulder
This is another faceless pose that would be really good for graduation pics! All you’d have to do for this one is toss the gown over one shoulder and stand there.
18. Champagne Pop
Ah, the notorious champagne pop grad pic. One of my personal favorites, and one that REALLY captures the celebratory vibes of graduating. This one is probably best to do at the end of a photoshoot since the champagne will probably get all over the grad. I feel like champagne pop pictures always turn out really great!
19. Up Close Cap Toss Pic
This is another really cute way you could get a cap toss picture! I love the grads facial expression in this lol.
20. Side Angle Stair Pose Picture
This is another angle you could get some stair pictures from! This pose is another one that would be great for getting pictures in front of your favorite building on campus. The angle is great because you can actually see the building instead of just the front doors!
