Yousuf Karsh; born in Mardin, Turkey. Was and American Canadian photographer better known for his important and beautiful portraits of famous and historical people. He photographed Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, President John F. Kennedy, President Fidel Castro, Nelson Mandela, Princess Elizabeth and more. His portraits are gorgeous and the way he uses the light is incredible. One of his significant portrait is the one of Albert Einstein. In this portrait we can see that Yousuf Karsh uses a back light to pop up the subject from the background. Also, he uses some extra light for the sides to fill the dark areas; and of course, a key light which is almost on the side and high.

Nadav Kander; born in Tel Aviv, Israel. His better known for his portraits and landcapes. Kander portraits looks more like a composition; an art that his creating using a photograph. It is incredible how Nadav Kander uses a projector or some reflector to add this pattern or texture to the subject’s skin. One of my favorite photograph of Kander is the one attach below. Here we can see how he’s using a projector to illustrate an emotion and create an art out of a photograph. Also using the monochromatic color scheme of green is beautiful and holds the composition together. I would love to try something like this because is eye catchy and I know that the model would love this type of portrait.
