“Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.”
Yousuf Karsh
During his lifetime Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) held over 15,000 sittings and produced over 150,000 negatives. Among these were portraits of some of the most exhilarating French and American political, cultural and intellectual figures, including Ernest Hemingway, François Mauriac, Grace Kelly, John F. Kennedy, Christian Dior and Man Ray.
