I had never noticed the ears - that analysis was worth the price of admission! Thanks Sean.

In the darkroom, you'd do very slow waves over the ears to darken them. You usually used a diffuser (nylon stocking over a cardboard tube moved around) for women. Since this wasn't necessary for men, you would use your hands to darken the ears to give POP to the face. This is how I learned photography.

Sean, this is wonderful - more please!

Retweet. This was really cool. I love your work

Love to see this as a series. This was very cool!

More knowledge is always a good thing. When I was in photography school at Layton School of Art in Milwaukee from 1969 to 1971 we actually had Karsh give a lecture. It was quite a thrill.

Neat. At my school photography students went to his studio in Ottawa on field trips (the 90s). A friend has one of his original portraits in his house (my friend's great uncle was Mackenzie King).

I love going to other photographers for inspiration, but deliberately trying to analyze their techniques and methods is next level that I had not considered before. Thanks for this great video!

Please, please, please: more of those videos. Stunning replication and easily understandable. Fantastic, Sean!

Brilliant job! Your portrait recreation is stunning.

There was a retrospective or Karsh's work at Montreal Fine Arts Museum this winter, it was amazing. One of Canada's all-time greats for sure!

I'm not sure how I missed this when it first came out. This video was amazing and enlightening. First, the technical process of working out, emulating, and refining the lighting was fascinating. Second, the journey through a different style was, as always is, a step of growth in my creative work. Thank you for ever stretching my boundaries and learning. I do hope this becomes a series, it is invaluable.

You make it look so easy! I could immediately guesstimate the positions of the three lights, but the amount of work after that was way beyond my level, great stuff!

This was a lovely video. It's the way you talk through your thoughts and put them into actions, and then how you tweak it as you go along. It is super helpful and I would love to see more of this style of video on your channel!

Yes! More like this!! That was so fun to watch and absorb. Great work!

I'm very impressed how close this actually turned out, your knowledge does wonders

This has the potencial to become a really interesting video series! Awesome!

I thoroughly enjoyed that Sean. Thank you!

I love that this goes from analysis (which I especially enjoyed) than light setup until post processing and how in the meanwhile we learn so much about the era of the original portrait. Can't wait to see more on this series ❤

Incredible tutorial, of course we'd love to see more from those ! 😁

Absolutely love this content!Continue with this series! Thanks a LOT! ❤️

Love this idea Sean, and great result. Would definitely love to see more of these.

Very inspirational. Thank you, Sean!

Sean absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing and doing this .

This is so fantastic! Love this idea of breaking down and replicating photos by other photographers!

Brilliant video. Thank you Sean. I've loved Karsh's work for many years.

Fantastic as always! More of these would be great 👍

This is one of the best recreation videos I've seen. Great work!

This is great Sean. I hope you do more of it. Thanks.

This is fantastic. Please more of this! A LOT MORE!!

This is fantastic Sean definitely more please!

Thank you yet again for reaching to new heights in giving out such valuable information Sean! Absolutely would love to learn more in this method, excited to see who you will pick next!

This is wonderful… Thank you. Looking forward to see more such videos from you.

Really really appreciate this Sean, I often find lighting diagrams hard to visualize and this is a God send. Please do more, I know a lot of people will benefit.

Absolutely love this. Since 2013 I have been using Karsh’s photos to help my photography students learn about lighting. Guess what ?! this is one of the photos we use!!! Thank you so much for doing this, it helps validate the importance of learning about portrait lighting!! WOOT!

Thanks for the content Sean!

Sean you are not only a great artist but a great human being. Your lectures are always inspirational.

This was so helpful! Yes, Please keep doing these!!!

Just fantastic, simply love this!

I enjoyed this so much. Please do more like this. It was nice to see the process. Very educational and inspirational.

Sean, what a wonderful video about photography deconstruction. I’d absolutely watch a series on this approach. It’s what I do often to learn the craft. PS It was great to see you smiling and having fun. More of that too, please. 😊

Love to see more of these. Photography youtube leads so many people into chasing gear when the real answer is light. Thank you.

I've been following you for a few years now and this was absolutely brilliant, so fascinating seeing how you managed to recreate his lighting, brilliant lighting, loved it, really would love to see more of this kind of thing. 👍🏻

Super-instructive and inspiring lighting emulation. Totally love this.

Sean, absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for your superb teaching! Bart

Excellent video Sean!

I sense a series here! Really enjoyable video - thanks Sean.

+1 for a series. Truly helpful and crystal clear. Thanks a lot for sharing.

This video is incredible. Thanks for the great content!!

Thank you for sharing good skills you have Sean!

A series of this would be awesome!!!!

Nice work and effort! Thank you Sean.

Super great video Sean, I love the variety of your channel because the topics are always interesting

This is wonderful! I am just getting back into photography after a hiatus, with the resolution to learn from the masters by studying their work. Karsh is my all-time favorite portrait photographer, due to the heroic, theater-derived lighting. Thank you so much for posting this- it will help so many photographers ‘decode’ the elements of a masterpiece and learn how to integrate it into their own work. You sir are a true patron of the art form!

Really loved this!

This is so cool to see you look at the details of the photo and pull it apart. Super helpful what to pay attention to! More of these videos!

Gone back to college @ 61, to study photography - trained at top high street studio for a year back when I was a kid. Just tried to recreate karsh lighting with my tutor. Will keep at it now I've seen this. Brilliant video. One on Bailey would be so helpful. Deep appreciation for your efforts

man you know just the right time to put out a video. This one was great love it and thank you for always having something to teach us

Very instructive! Thanks a lot Sean

Really enjoyed the breakdown and approach. Well done!

Extraordinary! I'd love a series about reading the lights on portraits!

Holy moly. I love this exercise. Always leave this channel inspired.

Excellent Video Sean- Cheers

What a video! That's so great you've done it like that.

I’m from Ukraine. I do photo and video these days. Thank you for mentioning Ed’s activities. Please share information on what’s going on in Ukraine. And it’s a simple single but dark and painful word - War. Thank you for this video. Stay safe, support Ukraine.

Sean this is a great idea! Would also love to see your twist in the results! More of that please! 🙌🙌🙌

Really good video, Sean!

Would definitely like to see more of this Sean. I’m not a portrait photographer but do admire the genre tremendously and there are some great learning points here that translate into just “good photography”. Thank you. All the best.

Fantastic. Beautiful portrait. I remember buying Karsh’s Portfolio book in the 70’s , always enthralled by the beauty of b&w.

Great video - many thanks! I'd certainly like to see more like this!

Really nice, Sean. Thank you for the lesson!

This was fantastic! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Fabulous and very interesting Sean. Definitely would want to watch more!

What a terrific idea to recreate the the lighting of Karsh’s famous portrait then adapt the result to your own ends. The “forensic analysis” of Karsh’s lighting and lens selection was illuminating to the viewer and well produced. In general I’m not too interested in studio portraits but you’re video has caused me to reconsider. I love the imaginative thinking on your part which is so clearly on display in this video. Well done.

Really enjoying these videos, inspired me to go back and work on some b&w portraits and use the different techniques you've shown and it's a massive difference. Thanks.

when you see 1x whole video...means that this time is well invested...thanks again Sean! ☺️

Great series! Thank you for the detailed explanation!

Super good, thanks for the content!

Thank you again Sean!

Oh yes ! More !

Wow really good! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Awesome video, Sean! Thank you! I always forget these photography masters still did post processing…

Simply a quite amazing and inspirational video. Thanks.

Wow! Nicely done.

Excellent Sean, thank you. I'd love a short series in this style if possible.
