Mary Evans collection of the week: Manuel Cohen

Manuel Cohen is an editorial and advertising photographer specialising in World Heritage Sites, architecture, archaeology, sculpture, and paintings at culturally and historically important sites around the world. The images he captures through the lens are masterpieces of light and composition, giving new interest to sometimes familiar places through the use of unusual angles or nimble juxtapositions.

Over 29,000 of Manuel Cohen’s photographs are now available on maryevans.com with highlights including the archaeological sites of Palmyra and Pompeii, the cathedrals of Amiens and Chartres, the fresco cycle in Siena’s Palazzo Pubblico, and the chateaux of the Loire Valley. There are also nearly 10,000 images of UNESCO World Heritage Sites from the Caribbean to India.
