It was at that instant that I took the photograph.” YOUSUF KARSH In the wake of the attack on pearl harbour, Churchill arrived in Ottawa, to thank the allies for their assistance. Unaware that a photographer had been commissioned to take his portrait, Churchill refused to remove his cigar. Once the photographer was set up, Karsh walked towards Churchill, removed the cigar from his mouth and took his famous photograph with the scowl (an angry or bad-tempered expression.) Of the incident, Churchill told Karsh “You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed.” This image is one of the most widely reproduced political portraits. It gave photographers permission to take more honest, and even critical, portraits of political leaders. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
