Yousuf Karsh was a legendary figure in my hometown of Ottawa; he lived in the Chateau Laurier, within a few minutes' walk of Parliament Hill. He shot everyone from visiting heads of state to artists, writers and celebrities.
I think it's high time that one of the greatest portraitists of the 20th century finally be honoured with a challenge inspired by his images. All you studio freaks should be celebrating.
Advanced editing. |

| Yes, He would be one of the top portrait photographers ever, His portrait of Winston Churchill is widely accepted as being one of his finest works. |

Yep, Roaring Lion (as that portrait's officially titled) is pretty tough to beat - and I love how he got that pugnacious expression on Churchill's face! |

Just so long as we don't end up with a dozen different versions of Roaring Lion, I'd be happy :-) |

| I hadn't really seen his work before - holy cow, yes this would be a great challenge, I can only hope it falls on a week where I have the time and effort to dedicate to studying his work, setting up the shot, etc. |

| I'm all for it. Man was a master! I've seen a bunch of his original prints, he was great at B/W printing, Like Adams. |
