John N. Cohen devised new 'special effect' techniques based on photographs of projected images. Years before computer manipulation existed, his fascinating creations taken on Kodachrome transparency film, won the top international photographic awards of the time.
Quite a number of major one-man exhibitions have been held, several sponsored by Kodak, in Europe and the U.S.A. An entire wing was devoted to his work at 'Photo Expo' held at the Coliseum, New York. Over 40 of his studies were exhibited, when even the most famous photographers were lucky, to have more than three or four pictures accepted!
He became one of the leaders in gaining recognition of colour photography as an art form. In 1969 he opened the first Gallery (probably in Europe) devoted to contemporary photography. 'Viewfinder' in Oxford Street, Marble Arch, London, sadly proved to be too far ahead of its time.
