Jane Hope Brown
- Jane Hope Brown CBE was an english photographer who worked for the observer newspaper from 1949. Her portraits,primary photographed in the black and white and using available light ,received widespread. She was born on March 13 1925 in Dorest and she died on December 21 2014 in Hampshire. I quite like her work because she has a nice theme of black and white but it can be kind of boring.

Yousuf Karsh
Yousuf Karsh was born in December 23, 1908 Mardin, Ottoman Empire. His nationality is Canadian and he grew up during the Armenian Genocide where he wrote, "I saw relatives massacred; my sister died of starvation as we were driven from village to village." At the age of 16, his parents sent Yousuf to live with his uncle George Nakash, a photographer in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Karsh briefly attended school there and assisted in his uncle’s studio. Nakash saw great potential in his nephew and in 1928 arranged for Karsh to apprentice with portrait photographer John Garo in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. His brother, Malak Karsh, was also a photographer. Karsh returned to Canada four years later, eager to make his mark. In 1931 he started working with photographer John Powls, in his studio on the second floor of the Hardy Arcade at 130 Sparks Street in Ottawa, Ontario, close to Parliament Hill. When Powls retired in 1933, Karsh took over the studio. Karsh's first solo exhibition was in 1936 in the Drawing Room of the Château Laurier hotel. He moved his studio into the hotel in 1973, and it remained there until he retired in 1992
