Christian McCormac Capstone Hull

​For my senior capstone, I decided to work with automobile photography in which included working with the photoshop application during my school time, traveling to different auto shows and picking out right sized frames and color schemes. The process of working with Photoshop during school included cutting the Bugatti out of its original picture, and turning the background all black. For the Ferrari I did the same thing but I turned the background into all grass. I've went through my photography portfolio and choose the best automobile that I thought best fit the frame. This also included collecting and recycling picture frames with my dad, all in which we found at house clean outs what belonged to the prior owners of the houses we were “furnish-gutting”. The frames from the houses indeed held family photos, posters, pop culture memorabilia and etc. What was a bit difficult about this part of my project was that I had to decide what frame will best fit the photo that was I going to put in it. What I did was de-framed some of the frames, took the glass out, then decided to repaint all of the picture frames to aesthetically coincide with the pictures that I thought would best fit. I decided to paint some of them and also leave some of them in their natural state that they were in. I then went to staples to get the photos blown up then I had to take them home and put all the pictures into the frames. I had to take postcards and write out an informative description about each car, and where the photos were taken. I also utilized school during school hours and painted the walls on the third floor ballroom all white for my capstone. I had a huge blast doing this project because it's something I'm very passionate about. I want everyone at SLA to see these pictures that i’ve travel to take, ultimately spending countless hours with my brother and father learning about. It would be amazing to see everyone’s face when they look at my capstone and hopefully say “wow!” I’ve learned a lot from doing this capstone, especially about how much planning goes into holding a school event. I learned how much time it takes to make one event happen and how many different people I had to connect with, which also ties into communication skills.
