John discovered that the projector really lives up to it’s earlier known name – ‘the magic lantern’, as what can be done with projectors for photographers really is magical!
One of his best known pictures was titled ‘Spirit of Spring’, this was the first ever picture (taken on Kodachrome transparency film) that included both a negative of a tulip and a positive image of a girl’s portrait, all on the same emulsion!
No one knew at the time, how this could be possible, as it was created well before anyone had the use of computers.
This little known technique involves the photographing of projected images, sometimes; he projected his image through a crystal, or reflected the projected image off various reflective surfaces, or through coloured cellophane, the projected image could be a negative, (colour or black and white) and he even used three or four projectors all together at times.
His chosen screen often became the subject of the picture, John has photographed projected images on to a shell, a flower, a butterfly wing, even the edges of the pages of a book!
His freely available article titled ‘The Magic Lantern’ fully describes and explains exactly how anyone and everyone can do it. ‘The Magic Lantern’ can be found at – http://www.jncohen.net/photmagi/cg030001.htm
Digital camera users could also use many of his techniques, as these special effects have certain qualities that are a little different from those achievable by digital manipulation.
‘Spirit of Spring’ won The London Salon Trophy in 1967; this was then the first time a colour picture was deemed worthy of this much-coveted trophy, for it had only ever been awarded before for Black and White studies. John was also the youngest member to have won it.
