Matt Cohen – Open Colour EDI Judge – July 2020

Matt Cohen lives in Phoenix, Arizona and will be judging for us for the first time in our July Open Colour Digital competitions. Matt is the third US based judge recommended by Roy Killen earlier this year. He is a member of the PSA and has completed the PSA Image Analysis Course and acts as a commentator for a PSA Digital Study Group. Matt’s passion is travel photography but his work encompasses landscape and portraiture. You can see some of Matt’s work at mattcohentravelphotography.com or follow him on Instagram – mattcohentravelphotography.

Nature EDI competitions will be judged jointly by Susan Slack (A Grade) and myself (Advanced and B Grade). The Set Subject for July is Chiaroscuro. Check out the definition on the club website and if you have any questions please contact the judge Thomas Buckwalter.
