I like to think of this concept as a spring daydream," Minniapolis based art director and photographer Corey Tenold says about his first story for Ben Trovato. "So for The Peace House I envisioned something very surreal. Something psychedelic and trippy, something that would make you do a double take. I initially wanted to shoot blonde twins. But had an idea for this pseudo-mirror effect. Taking simple mirroring and putting my own twist on it by making it appear a little more interesting. I love this shoot because it really defines me. I'm a very peaceful, calm, and happy person, and my goal was to convey that through the photographs."]]> http://bentrovatoblog.com/photography/peace-house-corey-tenold/feed/ 0 "I daydream a lot.

It is the First International Fashion Film Festival Founded in North America, and it will, once again, be the world’s largest gathering of fashion film professionals. Karl Lagerfeld, Bruce Weber, and our very own Marius Troy amongst many other creative professionals behind the worldwide fashion film art movement are invited to an exciting, glamorous, and informative event that features world class films and fashion personalities. LJFFF #2 was the largest gathering of fashion film professionals in history. The number of filmmakers, thought leaders, and opinion makers planning on attending LJFFF #3 in 2012 has already exceeded 2011. Ben Trovato editor and founder Marius Troy will aside from being a panelist present one Ben Trovato fashion film in front of the fashion film world elite. That film could be yours! We have many candidates to choose from, but we'd love even more, and we know there are many directors out there that would kill for an opportunity like this. So if you have an idea for a film, or you already have one you would like to submit, please write us on film@bentrovatoblog.com. Mark your email with LJFFF. If we choose your film you will of course be given the opportunity to come on stage and present it together with Marius. The films at LJFFF will be presented in three completely different screening programs 8:00 – 10:00pm July 26, 27 & 28th 2012 in the world class theater at the Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla. Each night consists of about 20 short films.
