I love the lighting here and the depth of field between Churchill and the background.
I really love this image and the lighting on his face.
DISCLAIMER: All of these images were taken by Yousuf Karsh.
None of the above images are my own.

Yousuf Karsh was born in Turkey in 1908. He moved to live with his uncle (a photographer) in Canada at the age of 16 and assisted in his studio. His work was recognised by the Canadian Prime Minister and he appointed him to photograph foreign leaders on their visits to the country. Throughout his career Karsh photographed some of the most famous artists, actors, politicians and scientists. I absolutely love his portraits. His low key and high key shots are stunning. I love all the different grey tones in his images. I would really like to attempt his style of portraiture in one of my own projects.
