\nBenjamin Kanarek | Luana Tiefke | Symphony on Ice | Vogue Brazil October 2010<\/strong><\/a>
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s a reason why Toronto-native, Parisian-based photographer Benjamin Kanarek and I get along. In our digital-technology world of bullet-point, pulsating micro-moments, Benjamin Kanarek rows his production boat in the manner of a Manet painting.<\/p>\n

His video of making \u201cSymphony on Ice\u201d, featuring model Luana Tiefke wearing Chanel in the October 2010 issue of Vogue Brazil, is a great example of Benjamin Kanarek in action. See Benjamin\u2019s blog<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t misunderstand me. It would be my kiss of fashion death to him, to describe Kanarek as refreshingly calming, superbly creative, artistically competent and \u2014 god forbid \u2014 having an accesible personality, in the frenetic world of fashion photography.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure Benjamin kicks serious butt as needed, but he\u2019s just so not a diva, so not-self-absorbed, and so not full of himself, in spite of his considerable talent.<\/p>\n

Fashion Shoot 101<\/p>\n

You know the fashion video drill. Hair flying, music pulsating, everyone is beautiful and talented beyond belief. This business is not for mere mortals, but for God\u2019s chosen people.
\nAnd excuse me, can you please get the whole video scene down to 90 seconds, because Internet viewers have no interest in understanding the genuine substance of working on a fashion shoot. Just give them the glossies, damn it. Readers don\u2019t care about process; Powerpoint it.<\/p>\n

Au contraire.<\/p>\n

Benjamin shows us step-by-step how an entire team of people \u2014 down to the manicurist \u2014 created these splendid, blue-ice visual effects of Luana as the Violinist for Vogue Brazil\u2019s September 2010 issue. Consider it a mini, eight-minute TED.com video for the fashion crowd, but without the activism. Then again, it is activist to both feature and credit the manicurist painting Luana\u2019s nails blue.<\/p>\n

I believe Benjamin Kanarek is an old soul, adept at mixing classicism and art with modernism, high fashion and technology \u2014 while making the video arty, fashion-shoot educational.<\/p>\n

As for the blue-mood, Chanel on ice photos, they radiate a warm, sophisticated, Parisian energy. Perhaps it is this creative balance that Kanarek has mastered.
\nEnjoy the beautiful Luana, photographed by Kanarek wearing CHANEL for Vogue Brazil, September 2010, in the Arman Suite of Paris\u2019s Hotel Lutetia. Anne \u2026 and read my postscript after the photos.<\/p>\n

PS: It\u2019s all making sense now. Paul Coelho strikes again in my life. I keep bumping into him at weird digital intersections, this time looking for the Symphony on Ice video on YouTube. Instead I have Benjamin and Coelho together.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Paul Coelho appears in my very favorite personal essay at Anne of Carversville: Sailing Towards Ithaca | Paul Coelho | CP Cavafy (aka Kavafis)<\/strong><\/a>.I wasn\u2019t looking for him that night either.<\/p>\n

I see a great deal of this essay in Benjamin\u2019s work. Go to Benjamin Kanarek\u2019s blog to watch the video and watch my essay to get an outsider\u2019s understanding of what makes this talented photographer tick. I\u2019m just guessing, of course \u2026 women\u2019s intuition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
