'Painting With Light'

John's invented ground breaking technique enabled him to win top international photographic awards and to have over 20 One-man major exhibitions. He was the first to be able to combine both a colour positive and a negative image on the same transparency film emulsion (Kodachrome), for several years no one knew how he achieved his amazing pictures. Since then his original transparencies have been scanned and he has carefully made only minor improvments to his original images digitally, to create these large prints.

"My own invented 'Painting with Light', or 'Light Painting' technique involved photographing projected images that were not often projected on to a screen, creating 'special effects' before digital computer manipulation existed. I tried to create Contemporary Pictures that did more than surprise - but that inspire!"

"I use pure photography to express ideas, or thoughts rather than reality, I trust that my limited edition pictures will intrigue, cause interest and be appreciated as very original art works. All these 'Painting with Light' pictures were created in the 1960's with Kodakchrome film."  John Neville Cohen

A World First in the 1960's

'Spirit of Spring' (picture 003) is the first ever transparency, consisting of both a colour positive and negative image, on the same Kodachrome emulsion. The portrait is blended with a negative of a red tulip.


"regarded as one of Britain's most original photographers."   The Times.

"A woman's face was exquisitely metamorphosed with the cup of a yellow tulip - a Femme - Fleur Picasso might have perpetrated had he taken to photography."   
Arts Revue.

"Indeed, since the photographic image is made by the action of light, truth to light is truth to the medium of photography!  All John Cohen's photographs are made, simply and solely, by the use of light.  His magic is the magic of the luminous, his poetry is that of the chiaroscuro.  The attractions of his work is all the greater for the purity of the photographic technique, and its appeal all the more universal for being couched in an imagery common to all men and intelligible to all."  
Sir George F. Pollock 
Bt., M.A., F.R.P.S., F.R.S.A. (Past President of The Royal Photographic Society)


"John N. Cohen's artwork incorporates several genres--ready-made objects, digital photography and Impressionist style of light painting - to create a striking and surreal effect that has a strong impact upon the viewer."   Claudia Moscovici.


Favourable reviews and comments have been received from, amongst others: - 

Cecil Beaton C.B.E.

Sir William Russell Flint R.A.

Lady Clementine Spencer-Churchill,

Sir George F. Pollock Bt., M.A., F.R.P.S., F.R.S.A.
