Période

THESE LIGHTING UNITS PRESUMABLY USED C. LATE 1940S- EARLY 1950S +. NOT USED AFTER 1992.

Canada

PART OF A LARGE COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT USED BY YOUSUF KARSH, CANADA'S INTERNATIONALLY HONOURED PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER. FROM 1932 TO 1992, MR. KARSH OPERATED FROM HIS PRINCIPLE STUDIO IN OTTAWA. HE ALSO MAINTAINED STUDIOS IN NYC AND LONDON, ENGLAND. IN 1999, MR. KARSH WAS NAMED ONE OF THE 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF THE CENTURY. HIS PRINTS & NEGATIVES, AND PERSONAL PAPERS ARE IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES.

Fonction

TO PROVIDE INTENSE ARTIFICIAL LIGHT, WHICH MAY BE DIRECTED AT OR ON A SPECIFIC AREA, DURING PHOTOGRAPHY.

Technique

THESE LIGHTS WERE USED AS SPOT LIGHTS BY MR. KARSH, AND ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THOSE USED IN OTTAWA (970312). THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED AND PLACED IN PREDETERMINED LOCATIONS DURING THE INITIAL SET UP FOR A PHOTO SESSION. SPOT LIGHTS WERE PLACED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SUBJECT, AT THE BACK. THEY WERE ALWAYS SET UP IN THIS WAY, THOUGH MR. KARSH DETERMINED WHICH/BOTH/NONE OF THE LIGHTS WOULD BE USED ONLY DURING THE ACTUAL SITTING. WHEN NECESSARY, A STAND SUPPORTING A BLACK CARD WAS PLACED NEXT TO THE SPOT LIGHT(S), TO BLOCK LIGHT FROM SHINING INTO THE CAMERA LENS. (SEE J. FIELDER NOTES IN SUPP. INFO. FILE 970309)
