'Beauty Is' is one of John Neville Cohen's Painting with Light photographs. Created using projection photography and Kodachrome transparency film, the image combines a transparency of a feather, and a black and white portrait with a coloured filter, both with two projectors aimed onto the same screen and then photographed with masking, without digital manipulation or darkroom effects.

This photograph is an example of his unique technique, using only light and film to create special effects, even on colour reversal film! Developed by John Neville Cohen using his 'Magic Lantern' projection methods that allow everything to be seen in the viewfinder. See Page 8 The Magic Lantern

This photograph was created by John Neville Cohen using his Painting with Light projection photography techniques and Kodachrome transparency film. The image forms part of his International award-winning portfolio of analogue photographic special effects.
