Eton College Photography - Eton Leavers' Portraits, & F-Block to C-Block Portraits
Shot mainly within the College grounds, and using top of the range professional equipment, our natural approach to portrait photography is both fun and refreshing, resulting in beautifully crafted images that capture your son's personality perfectly. We offer a fantastic range of both traditional and contemporary frames as well as beautiful desktop frames, wall displays including triptychs, floating frames, block mounts and canvasses. We also offer you the ability to purchase a DVD of all the photos, as well as individual prints if you prefer to frame them at home. A sample portfolio of our Eton College photography can be seen below With prices starting at just £99 for a 25-30 minute photo shoot in and around Eton College grounds, you can rely on our experience and expertise to capture your son's life at Eton College. The tradition of “Eton Leavers’ Portraits” at Eton started in the 17th Century by headmaster Dr. Barnard (1754 - 1765) who asked his most prominent students to leave a portrait of themselves instead of the usual Leaver’s gift which at the time was somewhere between £10 and £15. As the years passed by, the corridors and grand rooms of the college must have become covered with portraits; so much so that the tradition soon started to die down, purely due to a lack of space. In 2008 however, Rhubarb & Custard decided to make every effort to fully revive the tradition, but with a modern twist. We now offer parents and boys the service of taking a series of portraits of boys in their last year around and about the College grounds, with a final Leaver’s Photo Album or Photo-book being a popular choice of presentation for parents.
