Yousef Karsh

I really like this portrait taken by Karsh because of the starkness in the contrast of the whitest of white of the woman's dress and the dark background. The contrast juxtaposes the woman towards the audience and creates a very daramatic effect. The side light creates a diffused, soft, and seductive appearance to the portrait, enhancing it even more. This iimage is definitely one that takes in mind all details concerning light, placement of subject mattter and background.
