Karsh was said to be a master of studio lights one thing that Karsh was known for was lighting the subject hands separately. He photographed many three celebrities and personalities of his generation. During most of his career he used the 8x10 Bellows Calumet camera which was made around the 1940's in Chicago. A journalist by the name of George Perry wrote in the British paper The sunday times that " when the famous start thinking of immortality, they call for Karsh of Ottawa. Karsh captured the essence of his subject in the instant of his portrait. Karsh photographed many famous people in his time people like Muhamed Ali, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, Fidel Castro and many others.
I like this video because it shows you some of the people who Karsh has photographed
also the video goes into detail about how Karsh worked and how focused he was to get the right picture. In the video you seen examples of his work photographs of President Kennedy and other people who he photographed, another thing i like is that harsh Photographed the same every time but the pictures never look repeated like they have an individual stamp on them.
