Yousuf Karsh

Yousuf Karsh was born in 1908, moving to Canada in 1924. When he was commissioned as portrait photographer on ‘Grace Under Pressure’, Yousuf Karsh was one of the most famous photographers of his time, having photographed the Pope, Andy Warhol, Albert Einstein and innumerable kings and queens. All the same, said Geddy, “It looks a little like a bar mitzvah photo, doesn’t it?” He died in 2002.
