AT11.2: Karsh



i love this picture. i love the way the Queen and Prince Philip are positioned and the contrast with them wearing black and white along with the background. the background behind them is busy with alot of props and could be a bit distracting.. but it works since it shows a part in there ridiculous mansion they live in. the picture is exposed perfectly with showing both there faces not too dark and not too light. it seems like the picture is lit with natural lighting.. possibly from a window they could be looking at. the light is soft and doesn't distract from the shot Karsh was going for.

I really enjoyed going to the wag, there's so much to see there and its not everyday you get to appreciate the work of other incredible artists and photographers from our past and present. Karsh's exhibit was probably the coolest compared to Richard Harrington's for the variety of celebrities and the stories written about them when trying to get the perfect shot. The amount of people Karsh worked with was incredible.. i would love love love to work with anyone and everyone! To have that many people in your portfolio would be too sweet
