WTF-Stop Podcast - Photo Talk

Mark Cohen is an American photographer best known for his innovative close-up street photography. Cohen's major books of photography are Grim Street (2005), True Color (2007), and Mexico (2016). Shooting in the gritty environs of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Cohen’s literal and innovative closeness came from his method of holding the camera at arm's length just a few feet away from his subjects.  He shot without looking through the viewfinder, intuitively finding the perfect moment and composition.  Intrusive but elegant, by turns brutal and sensuous, Cohen’s cropped bodies and faces and the examined texture of skin and clothing reveal a finely tuned aesthetic consistency. No subject is observed without purpose. "They're not easy pictures. But I guess that's why they're mine." Says Cohen. Mark Cohen was born in Wilkes-Barre, where he lived and photographed for most of his life. (He now lives in Philadelphia.) His work was first exhibited in 1969 at the George Eastman House but came to prominence with his first solo exhibition at MoMA in 1973.Cohen is the recipient of two Guggenheim Grants, and his work is in the collections of major museums from the U.S. to Japan. In 2015, the publication of “Frame. A Retrospective” was published by the University of Texas press and containing over 250 images.  Along with several notable museum acquisitions, the Victoria and Albert Museum recently acquired 42 of Cohen’s prints for their permanent collection.
