Butterfly Country is one of John Neville Cohen's Painting with Light photographs. Created using projection photography and Kodachrome transparency film, the portrait was projected onto a piece of fine silk, this was used as a screen and then photographed to add texture, 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 7 The Magic Lantern
