Churchill later told Karsh “You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed!”

[BrainFeed🧠 @brainfeed_co]

This iconic portrait of Winston Churchill was taken by Yousuf Karsh.

Churchill was in a belligerent mood, because he had only been informed shortly before the photoshoot that Karsh had been commissioned to take his picture.

Churchill finally removed the cigar, but not his scowl.

Karsh said, “By the time I got back to my camera, he looked so belligerent, he could have devoured me. It was at that instant that I took the photograph.”
