Great Black and White Photographers PART 3

Yousuf Karsh

1.) I see a lot of emotion (especially humor) behind his pictures which always is really interesting to look at especially sense he only has one subject and a blank background in most of his photos. It almost feels like the photos don't just capture the moment, he brought it to life. It's crazy to think that none of his original photos are photoshopped, they are completely raw and have a depth to them. His pictures are very pleasing to look at because there are barely any background interruptions that bring the focus away from the subject. In the second picture, the person's skin matches almost perfectly with the background, giving him a sculpted and papery look. The second picture makes me feel like smiling and it's very warm, this says a lot about a photo and the photographer.

2. (first picture) I see the prideful faces of the man and woman. I smell the hot air in the studio that has settled as I take the pictures. I hear quiet whispers of the two people after each shot. I taste my lips as I concentrate on taking the picture, trying not to make a move. I feel happy when I see them pose for what later became my favorite shot of the whole photoshoot.

(second picture) I see John F Kennedy's face poses in wonder for the picture. I smell the laundry soap from his suit and hear my approving 'yeses' when I get a better angle than the last. I taste my minty gum that I always chew during an important shoot. I feel the camera buttons as I adjust the settings to take the perfect shot.


3.) I think creating a blog would be the easiest and most efficient way to show the world photos because a lot of people have access to the internet.
