Ponce Hall, Flagler College

Graduation PhotographyFlagler College

First Sight Films has been Flagler College's graduation photographer for three years, shooting the college's FCGradStories campaign each spring alongside Beth Sweeny and the marketing team. The work is personal: founder Diego Cerquera graduated from Flagler in 2007, and he knows the campus not just as a photographer but as someone who studied in Ponce Hall and Proctor Library.

Flagler College occupies the former Ponce de Leon Hotel, built by Henry Flagler in 1888 — a National Historic Landmark whose Spanish Renaissance architecture makes every frame count. Over three years we've photographed 50+ graduating seniors across it — the Ponce Hall courtyard and its fountain, the rotunda's Tiffany stained glass and hand-painted murals — and those images are featured on Flagler.edu, telling graduates' stories in the college's own channels.
