Water Garden, Painting with Light Projection Photography with Kodachrome Transparencies by John Neville Cohen

'Water Garden' is one of John Neville Cohen's Painting with Light photographs. Created using projection photography and Kodachrome transparency film, two projectors were used to project two tropical garden scenes, both were projected onto the same screen and with careful masking then photographed, 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.
