Press release: The COKIN story is first and foremost the story of a man, its founder Jean Coquin, a renowned French photographer who worked for the best-known luxury brands. It is also the story of a team who has never ceased to keep this vision alive, always anticipating the desires of photographers and videographers around the world with numerous innovations.
COKIN has always tried to mix science of colours and lighting techniques. Easy to use, COKIN products are also extraordinary tools for creative people. The creation of COKIN’s own range of gel filters is the outcome of years of research and development.
Today, COKIN is one of the few filter manufacturers to offer a complete range of lighting filters for photography, video, tv and film industries and is proud to announce PHOTOGELS®.
The whole PHOTOGEL manufacturing process is subject to stringent quality control, ensuring both high optical quality and perfect colour consistency.
The remarkable optical transmission of our gel filters allows them to be used not only in digital or film-based photography, but also in motion picture film and high-definition video (HD). Now, professional, expert or amateur photographers alike can benefit from COKIN’s renowned know-how and 40 years experience in optics.
