Jeff Han, 20,
is in preparation for Officer Candidacy School to become a US Marine Corp Officer.
In this image,
Jeff Han prepares his Marine Corp ROTC dress for the next morning of class and
meetings. He wears this specific uniform once a week. Han wakes up at 5:00AM
for his ROTC mornings. Because of this, Han irons, decorates, and hangs his
uniform the night before. He is very particular about his nametag and other decorations
being straight and in order, sometimes taking him up to five full minutes of
just making sure everything is straight. Han takes his work as an ROTC member
and aspiring Marine Corp Officer very seriously.
This photo was
originally taken around 11:00 PM. Han was already very tired from workouts that
day, so he kept the lighting in his bedroom to a minimum. I wanted to keep that
same intimacy that was there originally, so I adjusted the tones and levels a
bit to create more shadows and dim lighting. Usually, when people see military
members, even ROTC members, they always see them either in civilian clothes or
uniform. You rarely see images of them preparing their uniform to be the
decorated one we’re used to seeing so this gives you a glimpse into the
preparation it takes.
