What is your inquiry question that interests you for further research? It should be a question that
connects with a purpose, passion or personalized area of interest for you. This is a question that you cannot
just google an answer for. Please see examples from your Capstone booklet.

My inquiry question is:

How can I publish my photos? Do you mean “How can I get my photos published?”
Can I take photos without asking permission?
Any tips for photoshop and lightroom? “How can I improve my skill with using Photoshop and Lightroom?”
How can photos be more interesting “What techniques can I use with my photography to make them more
interesting?”
**We will need to form these ideas into a cohesive Inquiry question.**

Rationale/context: Detail your reasons for choosing this inquiry question. Explain WHY you are choosing to
investigate this topic as a major area of focus. How does this area of inquiry connect to your passion(s),
purpose? Why is it of personal interest to you?

I am really obsessed with graphic design, which is related to photography. I decided to do something related to
graphic design, as well have the possibility to improve.

Background: What background knowledge/connections/prior learning do you have in this area of inquiry?
 I partially know how to edit photos through photoshop/lightroom, I know how to use a camera, and I know
how to make photos interesting by adding some details.

Career connections: What is your intended career area at this point in time? What connections does this
inquiry question have to your life, academic and/ or career goals?

I like doing graphic design, and I want to pursue graphic design courses. Photography is related to graphic design
because they both use the same tool, similar applied and required skills, and I can use my photos as a portfolio
for post-secondary too.

Interdisciplinary and core competencies connections: What subject areas and core competencies will
be connected with your project? Outline and explain the connections.

• Understanding my decisions and actions can affect me.

• Express my needs and seek help when needed
• Identifying and appreciating different perspectives on issues and use and evaluate strategies to
resolve problems
• Aware of community and environment and work independently and collaboratively for the benefit of
others
• Analyze and critique my work and my learning
• Asking good quality questions, gather relevant information, and come up with well-developed
conclusions.

Capstone Presentation medium: select one or more project mediums you wish to use to present your
project. Outline and give details about how you will present your project once completed. You may use a
combination of mediums.

o Electronic portfolio: Prezi or PPT

o Physical portfolio
o Website
o imovie presentation
o YouTube channel
Electronic portfolio and website. This can be changed due to change of my mind.
Description of my Capstone project. Specific Project Details of the Capstone Project: what will you
research, create, study, produce, solve, investigate? What product will be produced at the end of this
project for evaluation. Write a one-page description outlining your proposal.

I want to research with people at the street, especially homeless people. I want my project to me meaningful,
and be on my area of interest, which is homeless people, as I used to work in homeless shelter pre-covid19.
I want to open my ears to the street, and expect to hear many kinds of things, which I strongly felt when I
went to Vancouver to take photos last time. **This is a delicate topic. Many of your photography subjects
may not want to be photographed or be subject of a school assignment. The only way I could see this
working is if you were doing it as part of the Homeless Shelter’s outreach program, and with the blessings of
those people you are trying to help. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST, that because of the obstacles you
may face, that you refine your photography skills with a different subject or focus** A couple suggestions:
“Grad life, School Life, Family Life, My Life”

Resources/ Technology/Skills: Make an assessment of the resources, technology and skills you will
need to be able to complete this project. What is your plan to be able to access/learn all of the resources
necessary to achieve completion of this project? Detail your plans.

Ability to use computer/tools well; like photoshop, lightroom, or even more. Well,

Project limitations: What are some project limitations and potential obstacles that you foresee that might
affect progress with your Capstone Project?

My camera is not good because I am using the one that I got assigned from photography class, 600 dollars
that is. I think I can still take good photos; it just takes longer time to focus on the object, and control camera.
Vancouver weather is quite terrible, so I need to be flexible with weather too. I hope it is clear whenever I
take photos, but that is the area where I cannot control.

Other considerations: List and detail any other related information/ considerations about your project
that you feel should be included in your project proposal.

Is it ok to take photos of homeless people at far back?

Weather condition?
Specific theme?
References: Provide references: research, videos, etc. that offer some preliminary research you have
done for your project that shows you are able to access the key information that you will need to be able
to complete this project/work. Your list should be written using correct APA formatting.
