The Magic Lantern



My way of 'Painting With Light'

by

John Neville Cohen

Projection Photography


Equipment required to create photographs like 'Butterfly country' and  'Spirit of Spring'


The author created his pictures on Kodachrome transparecy film, but many of these described images can also be created with digital cameras.

All these 'Special Effects' were invented and created in the early 1960's, prior to Computers, Digital Cameras and programs such as Photoshop.

Portfolio

The poetic portfolio consists of an exhibition of 75 photographs, created by John Neville Cohen,  including about 35% new works that have never been published or exhibited before.

All created by using these methods from my transparencies, but the original transparencies are of a much higher quality than these images.

Please also have a look at my limited edition prints for sale at the 'Painting with Light' section.
