Photographer Eric Kogan sees things other people miss. It’s like he has a spidey sense for being in just the right spot at the right moment. The Russian-born now-New Yorker has an incredible eye and great talent and almost supernatural timing. Here’s how he got into photography:

“Kogan’s first experience with photography came in his early teens with a position at a photography lab. His first duty was processing film and handling negatives. He recalls his first time working in absolute darkness as a light turning on in his head as the one in the room going off. Getting creative with the medium didn’t start until college though, in 2004, where a course on fine art photography brought him back into a darkroom.” About Eric Kogan
