Additional Information
Photography Information
-
Island Photography has integrated facial recognition software to enhance accuracy in identifying graduates' faces to names. Scanning the QR Code on the reader cards asks the graduate to enter their current contact information as well as their family or friends' emails to share their proofs. At the end, they will be requested to take a selfie which will be used internally for facial recognition.
We wish to see this celebration be a happy recognition of your success!
