Yousuf karsh and Nadav Kander

Yousuf Karsh was an Armenian-Canadian photographer who was born in Turkey. Yousef Karsh’s photograph are black and white. The picture itself tells us a story without any extra added object or features. His style of works are breathtaking. I say that because the contrast. THE Shades of grey in his photos creates emotional storm within us. He has photographed a lot of famous people. They are already mysterious figures. I get a feeling that his pictures helps us understand their charecter and personality in depth.

Nadav Kander London-based photographer He was born is Israel. He shoots portraits and landscapes.His style of photograph takes an artistic turn where he adds graphic elements to the portraits which I found quite amusing. He breaks the boundary. He plays around with the lighting to create a fabricated feeling and story. It does leaves the audience with the space to be more creative as they interpret the images. His landscapes are phonemonal. The colors are amazing it sets a mood and creates feelings that does perfectly with the photographs.

    While Karsh working in the mid 20th century defines classic portrait lighting and Kandar experiments a lot, both use the basic lighting styles: broad and short a lot. What can you borrow from their techniques?
