Charles cohen...

Charles Cohen takes photo's of people in very ordinary scenes like around the home and then cuts them out leaving a white space where the people were my favorite images are those he has photographed in erotic poses, which i think gives a real edge to his images, they make you look twice at the images. They almost make you feel uncomfortable and i think thats why there so interesting and they really make you think about what it is your seeing. Like he takes a very intermit scene and places it in a park.
He also takes normal pictures of people and cuts them out like the man on the bench with his family which aren't cut out.
The women in the park.
This idea could be done with anything like buildings and nature. I quite like this idea of cutting a object out of my image so it leaves a white background i think it looks really effective. I will move then likely try this technique during the six weeks we have to create our final image as it really inspires me. 
His work is so different to other artists ive researched as others change things you wouldn't/couldn't notice and i don't really like that, it looks good but its just not appealing to me.
