Yousuf Karsh emigrated to North America from Turkey in the 1920s, eventually settling in Ottawa. An early interest in photography inspired him to open his own studio. As he became known for the quality of his work, Karshâ€™s close proximity to powerful leaders in Ottawa led to commissions of portraits of politicians. He became known as the worldsâ€™ finest portrait photographer for his gift of drawing out and capturing a subjectâ€™s character in a photograph. Over a seventy plus year career, Karsh photographed many famous musicians, artists, actors, captains of industry and politlcians. He was also a humanitarian who worked with sick children. This is the first childrenâ€™s biography of the man who immortalized the makers of history.
