Lee Cohen

Lee Cohen is a photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. After more than a decade working internationally in documentary photography and education—including with USAID and NGOs across Asia and Africa—he shifted his practice entirely to analog photography in 2020. Lee prints all of his own work in darkrooms throughout NYC, including International Center for Photography (where he’s a teachers assistant) and the Bushwick Community Darkroom. His current long-term project, The Underbrush, documents the transformation of the abandoned Rockaway Beach rail line in Queens, NY—a site of political, ecological, and civic tension.
