By the 1930s he established himself as a significant photographer in Ottawa, where he lived most of his adult life, though he traveled extensively for work. His iconic 1941 photograph of Winston Churchill was a breakthrough point in his 60-year career, through which he took numerous photos of known political leaders, men and women of arts and sciences. Over 20 photos by Karsh appeared on the cover of Life magazine, until he retired in 1993. ... " National Portrait Gallery " ... in 1943 he boarded a Norwegian freighter containing a cargo of explosives which was bound from Canada to Britain and stayed in London to photograph wartime leaders and intellectuals. Many of these photographs were published in the Illustrated London News and played their own part in raising the nation’s morale. Since then he has returned to Britain many times and on one of his visits in 1976 photographed the Rt Hon Margaret Thatcher. Karsh’s ability to produce the ‘definitive’ portrait of so many of the great men and women, not only Churchill but Kennedy, Khrushchev, Castro, Hemingway and others, was not achieved lightly. In addition to the long sittings he often required, he researched his sitters thoroughly before meeting them, and his careful studio lighting, which he first learned with the Ottawa Little Theatre in the 1930s, is legendary. Courage, too, was required, for who else would have dared to pull the cigar from Churchill’s mouth or persuaded Khrushchev to dress up in a large fur coat? ... " karsh.org " ... Audrey Hepburn:- When I photographed her in Hollywood and commented on her quality of sophisticated vulnerability, she told me of her harrowing experiences during the Second World War. Years later, in the Kremlin, Chairman Brezhnev agreed to sit for me only if I made him as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn. ... " National Gallery of Canada " ... A great many personalities from the cultural, scientific and political milieus that shaped the twentieth century have been immortalized on film by internationally renowned photographer Yousuf Karsh. These portraits where shadows play with dramatic light bear witness to a century, but above all to the photographer’s humanistic vision. The human aspect, exchanges between the photographer and his subject, and the revelation of his or her personality via photography are at the core of his practice. ...

A tritone adds a third ink, and fourth ink is added for a quadtone ... "Quadtones (Printing Industry Exchange) " ... Some people focus on four distinct regions of the overall tone curve (from highlights to shadows) using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black in percentages that mimic a black-and-white photo (i.e., to omit visible color detail and produce a range of tones approximating black, grey, and white). This is called a quadtone, quadtratone, or 4-color black-and-white image.
