Another Veteran's Portrait Project session

tirediron · Mar 20, 2016

For those of you following along at home, this is a project I've been working on for a couple of years where I provide free portraits to serving and retired members of the Armed Forces. I recently had the privilege of creating this portrait for Mr. McLennan who served in the Merchant Navy in WW II, and in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Korean conflict.

Petty Officer John McLennan CD, MN, RCN (Ret'd)

Thanks Alex! Actually, that hadn't occurred to me... I should look into that.

Perhaps my monitor is off but it looks a bit dark to me.

You're right Lew, it does display a little dark, but it's processed based on my lab's printing profile. Not entirely sure why, but it always prints perfectly, even though it usually displays a 1/3 - 1/2 stop under.
