Portrait of Yousuf Karsh

Yousuf Karsh
Canadian Photographer
1968

I met Yousuf Karsh during the opening reception of a photographic exhibition by Yousuf Karsh at the Ohio University Art Gallery. I was a student at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, studying Journalism and Comparative Literature. Karsh had photographed David Hostetler and his art. Hostetler is a well-known American wood carver and bronze sculptor of works capturing the female form. I had just taken my first photography course for journalism students, and I was working for The Ohio University Post, the student daily newspaper, as a writer/photographer. David Hostetler introduced me to Karsh and his wife Estrellita, and I arranged to take Yousuf Karsh’s photograph and to interview him at The Ohio University Inn the following morning where he planned to have breakfast.

That morning, as I positioned my camera to take a shot, Karsh asked where my light meter was. I told him I didn’t use one. Actually, I didn’t know how to use one, but I didn’t tell him that. He looked at me as if I were crazy. The following month, Yousuf Karsh send me a letter: “In your article in The Post you managed to get in all the salient points of the brief discussion we had together at the breakfast table.” He didn’t mention the absence of a light meter, but I’m sure the naïve photographer made an impression on him. Karsh certainly made an impression on me, and I kept in touch with him; I soon afterwards went to Canada to study French at the McGill French Summer School. I have several letters from Karsh.

During the interview I had with Karsh, I was very impressed by how interesting everything he said was, and I distinctly remember that I decided at that time that I wanted to be like that. He was my first 'celebrity' photograph. Since then, I became a professional photographer and have photographed many celebrities. I sent him a print of the photograph I took of him in 1968. In a letter he sent me he said my photograph was 'charming.' I think he was the charming element of the photograph. Yousuf Karsh was always polite and encouraging to young people. I'm sure my interest in photographing people was sparked when I photographed him. He certainly made an impression on me.
