<p>Meet Matthew Cohen, professional marine photographer, racing sailor, seasoned offshore sailor and sometimes glider pilot.</p><p>In our conversation, Matt walks us through his early sailing experiences and his introduction to photography which began with a course at school that quickly became his chosen career path.</p><p>Matt describes some early opportunities he had, such as working for Onne Van der Wal, as well as his own displays at art shows and festivals.</p><p>In our talk we share our mutual love of helicopters and discuss the value they still offer for marine photographers. Matt also surprises me with the fact he’s a Glider / Sailplane pilot in training and we go off on a brief aviation tangent.</p><p>Matt has a robust stock photo collection and has commissioned works at offices in NYC. His ambition brought him to organize a very memorable few nights staying, and shooting photos in the remote Sakonnett Lighthouse.</p><p>Matt beautifully weaves his work history with his sailing history, and lets us in on his approach to the delicate blend of art, business, and creativity.</p><p>To learn more about Matt, check out his web page at: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cohenphotography.com">www.cohenphotography.com</a> From there you can also link to his social media sites and like and follow.</p><p>Photo copyright Matthew Cohen Photography<a target="_blank" href="https://cohenphotography.com/">https://cohenphotography.com/</a></p><p>Original music for podcast composed by Nela Ruiz<a target="_blank" href="https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/">https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
