I am publishing two books of photos. One is a collection of
camera phone photos, black and white and color, on premium glossy paper, "bad food but plenty of it". The other is a book of modern abstracts paper manipulation, faces and distorted glamorous photos entitled "Spirit". These books can be purchased on-line or by direct mail. I will be posting links to these books and instructions on how to order them in coming weeks.

Hernandez... blablabla.. easier to put what the journalist Luca Sabbatini wrote about me in "La Tribune de Genève", November 2007 "Aaaah, Juan-Carlos Hernandez ! Cleverly neglected beard, angelic smile, smooth talk… Those who are regulars at the Sud des Alpes know well his latin charming silhouette. Juan-Carlos has become the blue note’s « eye » by passion and the Geneva photographer has met and immortalised all the great-well not all of them, but the list is getting longer day by day-of contemporary jazz. Ornette Coleman opened his New-York appartment door for a portrait session which Juan-Carlos remembers with emotion. Sonny Rollins, Steve Coleman, Dave Douglas and many others live as well a second life thanks to the photographer’s lens. When Juan-Carlos perfectly masters the science of framing and light, he has a hell of a good ear nonetheless !"

Jötunheimr (often anglicized Jotunheim) is one of the Nine Worlds and the world home of the Giants (two types: ) Rock Giants and Frost Giants in Norse Mythology. From there they menace the humans in Midgard and the gods in Asgard.
Gastropnir, home of Menglad, and Þrymheimr, home of Þjazi, were both located in Jotunheim, which was ruled by King Thrym. Glæsisvellir was a location in Jotunheim, where lived the giant Gudmund, father of Höfund.

Benjamin Kanarek








































I was born and grew up in Toronto, Canada. Never quite sure what I wanted in life, I fell into many things by accident. Photography, Web Concept development and Creative Direction are just a few examples.
I played drums in a few punk rock groups, one of which, the “Existers”, with the single “Telex Love” was produced by John Cale. Another, the “Poles”, had a semi-successful hit called “CN Tower”.
Afterward, I entered Carleton University where I studied Architecture. I then worked in several companies, including Webb Zerafa Menkes & Housden, best known for designing the CN Tower in Toronto.
After a serious accident where I fell from a five meter mezzanine, I literally fell into photography. There was a photographer taking photos at the party and I landed on his toe!!!
My second shoot was an advertising campaign in Toronto. While in Toronto, I was the first Canadian photographer to shoot Kim Alexis, which I did for the cover of Chatelaine.
I moved to Los Angeles and stayed there for just over a year before moving to New York. In NY, I shot quite a few campaigns as well as the Dayton Hudsons Christmas book with Andie MacDowell, Elle MacPherson, Bitten Knudsen. I have worked with some of the classic great top models like Angie Everhart, Laetitia Firmin-Didot, Carole Alt, Helena Christensen, Kirsten Owen, Karen Mulder, Adriana Sklenarikova Karembeu, Brooke Shields, Kim Alexis, Janice Dickinson and more recently with Irina Lazareanu and Tetyana Brazhnyk… etc. I also shot several covers for Vogue South America.
I then moved to Milan where I shot for Harper’s Bazaar and Cosmopolitan. I came back to Toronto for a short stint before a friend suggested that I try Paris.
After six weeks in Paris, I was given an opportunity to shoot the Haute Couture for L’Officiel. Since then, Paris has become my base.
I also compose and write Pop-Rock music for several artists.
I also consult as a creative director for worldwide agencies and clients.
Some of the magazines I have been published in include :
Vogue Italy, Vogue Paris, Vogue Brasil, Elle (Spain, Portugal and Greece editions), L’Officiel Paris, New York Daily News Fashion, New York Times Magazine – Fashion Supplement, Women’s Wear Daily, Harper’s Bazaar Italy, Cosmopolitan (France and Italy), Votre Beauté, “W” Magazine UK, Biba, Flare, Glamour (French), Chatelaine, Amarta, 100 Cose, Madame Figaro, Dealer Deluxe, Oyster Magazine, Deutsch Magazine, Icon, Issue One, Tank, No Name magazine, West East Magazine, Jardin des Modes, Dépêche Mode…
