“I’ve wanted to make these kinds of profiles for a long time. And I think it’s kinda the future of what I do.”
Dustin Cohen
It was a video about 91-year-old shoemaker Frank Catafumo that put Dustin Cohen on my radar. Cohen is a commercial photographer who started his Made in Brooklyn project in 2012 with a video called THE VIOLIN MAKER followed by THE WATCH MAKER and THE JEWELRY MAKER.
I recall reading a couple of months ago on PDN (Photo District News) how Cohen created these as personal projects and they have landed him much work.
