Quick Europe Preview

jasoncohenphoto — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:52:15 +0000

I am still making my way back home but I just wanted to post a quick shot of one of my favorite images from Ireland. This was shot in a valley called Glendalough a couple hours south of Dublin. Truly an incredible sight to see.

Blessings.

Random M9 Shots…. Abbeville locals

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 04:05:33 +0000

I had the chance to take off the afternoon this past week and shoot a little in Abbeville, LA. Everyone was extremely friendly and we had a blast… From a biker with a record shop, some local wrestlers, and just an 92 year old nice man. Such a diverse group of characters. Here are a few…

Blessings.

Norway Wedding…

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:21:36 +0000

Hilde & Harald had a beautiful wedding just north of Oslo, Norway.

I shot the entire wedding with just my Leica, so I thought it would be interesting to post the entire wedding in b&w (other than the first time).

Thanks so much to Riccis Valladares for having me, and the couple and their family for being so welcoming to us. It was an amazing trip.

Blessings.

Just a few from our day in London. It was such a beautiful city and I only wish that I would have done more shooting than looking :)

Blessings.

Day 30 – Creative Shoot

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:03:01 +0000

I had the opportunity to schedule a shoot while my good friend Ben Spell was in over the Christmas break. I had been wanting to do something like this for a while, and everything ended up falling into place for this one… Our real hope was just to take the time to set up things and not rush from one shot to the other… Special thanks to Keri & Tory for coming out and modeling for us. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Blessings.

Day 28 – Scott

jasoncohenphoto — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:00:21 +0000

My good friend, and fellow photographer, Scott Simon came in from New Orleans to hang out with me for the day and it really was great being able to spend the time with him. He keeps up a great blog iHeartnola which gives some great insight into New Orleans food, music, culture, and more. If you are looking for good local insider info for New Orleans it is a great website to check out….

As Scott was about to leave for the day I realized how important, and at times lost, the portrait is. Scott was generous enough to sit for me for a portrait and here are 3 frames from that…. I shot a couple with the Hasselblad, but those have to come after I process the film :)

Blessings.

Day 26 – 9th Ward Revisited

jasoncohenphoto — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:39:58 +0000

This was also shot in the 9th ward in New Orleans in an area where Hurricane Katrina had done some of the most damage in 2005. It was amazing to me to see the contrast of life in the area where this lady was compared to where the gentleman who I posted a couple days ago (Day 12).

Blessings

Day 23 – Range Safety Officer

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 13:00:01 +0000

I with that I could remember this guys name because he really was such a nice guy (I asked for the serious pose)… He was kind enough to let me take his portrait after doing some shooting at the range.

Blessings.

Day 22 – Safety

jasoncohenphoto — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:15:55 +0000

I just loved this moment… Although I am not a parent, this is what I envision when people always say, “having a child is the hardest thing in the world but it is so worth it.”

Blessings.

Day 21 – Snow + Sled = Fun

jasoncohenphoto — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:03:45 +0000

One of the biggest things that Jen (my wife) was looking forward to more than anything was sledding. It was so cold that after I got off a couple shots I ran into the van and turned up the heat :) I guess I am just really not made for the cold…

Blessings.

Day 8 – Mr. Aaron

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 13:08:23 +0000

My good friend Jamie & I were on a bit of a road trip a couple of weeks ago and ran into Mr. Aaron. We talked for almost 30 minutes about the soil, growing tomato plant (he actually gave me one to take home), and his hat that he bought over 30 years ago for $4….

Blessings.
