Painting with Light Limited Edition Prints for Sale by John Neville Cohen, Large Fine Art Prints.

This photograph was created by John Neville Cohen using his own 'Painting with Light' projection photography techniques and Kodachrome transparency film in the 1960s. The image forms part of his International award-winning portfolio of analogue photographic special effects.

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 sunlight, but then 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 attraction 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.
