Gary Joseph Cohen

has been a member since Jun 2008 and goes by gjcohen.

A social/documentary photographer, my work is primarily concerned with the intimate dance between place and the people who define (and are defined by) place. The impulse to insert myself momentarily into the lives of others, while confronting my own sense of otherness, lends itself to an awkwardness that is both intimately revealing and alarmingly familiar. I live and teach in Manhattan, New York.
