Cohen is known for her domestic and institutional interior spaces, which have included living rooms, public halls, retirement homes, offices, shooting ranges and military installations. Despite the interest in the living and working space. Her images are usually empty in terms of a human presence. She photographs with an 8 x 10″ camera.
A lot of her images are in black and white with only a few projects entertaining colour.
I like the way she looks at shape and the architecture of the area. Her composition is excellent in every image and it’s clear they are all thought out.
Her use of symmetry and leading lines create interesting images. And allow a viewer to come further into the image.
The lack of people or ‘life’ is purposeful and is used well. This is something I would like to look at within my work.
