Yousuf Karsh

Was unaware of this, read it on a local photography forum and thought is was worth reposting here. Some of the most famous portraits were done by Canadian Yousuf Karsh and great to see the owner of this camera store collecting such a vast amount of his work. First link is the story on City Tv, the second is to the gallery the store owner has setup online. Just a stunning collection.

Wow - what a collection. Great post!

I have been fortunate enough to see an exhibition of famous Karsh photographs in Vancouver in the late eightees. He was indeed a true master of the craft. The printing of the photos in the exhibition was also superb!
