Simon Paul Cohen is a fine art street photographer based in Venice, California. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, he moved to Los Angeles, where the city's vibrant street life became the foundation of his artistic vision.

Working almost exclusively in black and white, he travels frequently to absorb the full spectrum of human experience - candid portraits, chance encounters with skateboarders, and the unexpected moments that reveal themselves on the street. His work is a study in presence and instinct, shaped by decades of life in one of America's most visually dynamic cities.
