Mark Cohen employs a close-up, intimate photographic strategy in the study of everyday details, emphasizing texture, pattern, and an unvarnished urban reality. The series captures an unpretentious, raw visual narrative often focusing on forgotten or unnoticed scenes.

In Tall Socks, Cohen’s images revolve around personal and vernacular moments, revealing a candid mood and rhythmic composition that challenge traditional portraiture and street photography conventions. The book’s 128 pages allow for an immersive visual exploration of this distinctive style.
