Merchan Films is an Orange County studio led by Michael Merchan — cinematographer, photographer, and former track athlete. The same discipline that came from competing shows up in every session: intentional, patient, and built to make you look like the best version of yourself. Not generic stock — work you'll be proud to put your name on.
Most sessions take place on the campus you earned your degree from. UCI, UCLA, Cal State Fullerton, another Southern California campus, or a favorite Orange County location can all work, subject to campus access rules.
Bring your cap, gown, and sash, plus one outfit that's unmistakably you. Two looks fit comfortably in a session.

Your private online gallery is ready within 1–2 weeks of the session.
Send a request as soon as you know your graduation window. Winter sessions usually center on December and January, while summer graduation sessions are commonly photographed from May through July.
Tell me a little about your session — your school, grad year, and the vibe you're after — and I'll get back to you with available dates.
