Galatea
Galatea originally a Kodachrome Transparency. Projection Photography, Special Effects with The Magic Lantern. As there is growing interest in useing film, I believe those wishing to create such special effects will be fascinated by what I was doing in the early 1960's whilst using Kodachrome. Most of the possibilities available digitally are also possible with film. My invented technique, was a unique form of 'Painting with Light' where the images were blended and manipulated with crystals, reflections, textures, and coloured filters. The projected images were not always projected onto a screen, and the chosen screen often became the subject of the picture; for example I have photographed projected images; on a feather, a flower, a shell, a leaf, a butterfly wing, and even on to the edges of the pages of a book. Images can be blended too, by using more than one projector. One part of my own website 'Special Effects - The Magic Lantern' explains exactly how my award winning photographs were created without computers, or any darkroom chemistry! #projectionphotography #specialeffects #Kodachrome #photography #paintingwithlight #film #portraits #johnnevillecohen #analoguephotography #Sensual #Conceptual #Surreal #Dramatic #Fantasy #Expressionist #artisticphotography
