Montmartre, Painting with Light Limited Edition Prints for
Sale by John Neville Cohen.
This photograph was
created by John Neville Cohen and forms part of his
International award-winning portfolio of analogue
photographs printed from Kodachrome transparencies.
One of few examples of his straight forward
photography, surprisingly this scene was discovered
and no extra posing was needed. The painter had gone
for lunch and his subject had fallen asleep.
These 'Painting with Light' large limited edition prints
are offered for sale and only 8 of each will be sold.
(They should all be treated as watercolour paintings
and not displayed in direct sun light, but these
pictures do have a very long colour life).
"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).
