No. Karsh charged a great deal for portraits. And he did such assignments as this, shooting all the mucky mucks in Parliament.
Karsh was pretty much a very well paid superstar photographer. At his peak he lived in a suite of rooms at the Chateau Laurier, a still prestigious hotel in Ottawa. The Life Of Karsh is a great read, and would really open the eyes of many present-day photographers. Especially the "get it right in camera" cultists. (He employed a team of retouchers.) http://www.amazon.ca/Yousuf-Karsh-Doctor-Maria-Tippett/dp/0887848052/ On Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 9:28 AM, Sandy Harris <[email protected]> wrote: > The Canadian government recently spent over $2.3 million to photograph > cabinet ministers. > http://www.ipolitics.ca/2015/02/19/clement-defends-2-3-million-to-photograph-cabinet-ministers/ > > Am I right in thinking that most pros would be happy to do portraits > for a few $hundred a subject and no-one, not even a famous master like > Karsh, would ask more than a few $thousand? > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
