Benjamin Kanarek Blog 1st Fashion Photography Contest Winner

We are pleased to announce the winner and 5 runners up in the Benjamin Kanarek Blog 1st Fashion Contest.

There were many very good submissions, but after many hours of deliberation, the winner of the Fashion segment goes to… Regen Chen.

Regen was chosen for his unique presentation and his image stopping power. We loved how he mirrored the original image yet added a different twist by pulling back to reveal the boots and hand bag in their complete context.  Placing the image upside down added to the impact. We were also very impressed with the styling, hair & make-up and choice of model for this shoot. Although technically well executed, we were more impressed with the impact of the overall image and felt that the technique employed married well with the overall result. A very nice balance indeed. Here is the interview with Regen Chen.

We will shortly contact the winners of the Fashion and Beauty segment, to have them write us a short biography and story about their image submission, as well as their feeling about the industry they are pursuing. They will also be interviewed by me and be given the opportunity to pick my brain. The interview will be recorded for posterity.

Here are the runners up images. They are not being presented in order of preference…
