My second year instructor was a good friend of Mr Karsh , I was lucky enough to meet him at our school when he visited George Lazi . As well a student Dean Macdonell worked at Karsh Studios for a period of time.

Not sure if mentioned here, but Red Coccine was used to open up shadow detail and pencil retouching was applied in all the printing for Mr Karsh. There is a reason why he gets the sparkle so to speak.

My first boss Slobodan Filipovich was a master of Red Coccine like many, many of the European Photographers that came to North America
after World War 11.
