Photographer Guy Cohen specializes in creating stunning, thought-provoking images in black and white. In this series of monochromatic pictures, we see Cohen displaying his signature style through the manipulating and playing of sources of light and contrast to demonstrate his surrealist tendencies.
In this series of black and white photographs, Cohen uses high contrast to enhance the visually stunning shadows, forms and silhouettes. The result is a series that shows off the theme of isolation with a striking amount of detail. Some of the photographed images include an upside down still of a boy riding his bike along a wooden plank walkway and in another picture, a bird is photographed mid flight in a cathedral.
