Yousuf Karsh joined Camera Press at its inception on a handshake with its founder, Tom Blau, and the agency would be instrumental in Karsh’s own work with the Royal Family. The Estate of Yousuf Karsh is proud to continue its representation by Camera Press to this day.

Karsh photographed Elizabeth as Princess in 1943, as well as her father, George VI, the same year. He photographed her as Princess again in 1951 and would go on to photograph her and the family across four decades. See a list of the Sittings.
