Winston Churchill On December 30 th, 1941 Karsh photographed Winston Churchill, the prime minister of the United Kingdom. This is Karsh’s favourite portrait he ever done as it shows a mean fierce Churchill leading a country into battle. The story goes that Churchill gave Karsh 2 minutes to photograph him. In that time Churchill had a cigar in his mouth that he wouldn’t take out so Karsh went up to Churchill and said “forgive me, sir” and took out Churchill's cigar this explains the fierce mad look on Churchill's face.
