Azeem Manghat, Law'17, is giving the world a new look at a unique Queen’s Law tradition.

This summer, the first-year student has taken more than a laptop to Herstmonceaux Castle: armed with his iPhone, a keen eye and the contributions of his peers, he’s an unofficial photojournalist for the BISC experience. Posting regularly on Instagram, Manghat (and his colleagues) are providing glimpses of what goes on during a summer of studies.

“I am actually really enjoying the experience,” Manghat says. “It’s really fun to tell stories with pictures.” As the summer wears on, however, he is finding that enthusiasm for the perfect shot has to be tempered with common sense: “A couple of days ago, as I was hanging from a very dusty and most probably ant-riddled sideways tree in the castle garden, trying to get the perfect Instagram picture. It was then that I decided it would probably be a good idea to re-evaluate the degree of my commitment to ‘doing it for the Insta’,” he reports.  “I have since scaled back my instagramming activities to a more appropriate level!”

With a growing group of students and alumni following him on Instagram, and the best of his photos being shared on our Facebook and Twitter accounts, Queen’s Law students and alumni alike are getting a taste of summer at the Castle – around the world.
