Hi there, I’m Fabien.
Today, my simplified tagline is Creative. Nomad. Photographer.
In over 25 years, I successfully wore many hats: Creative Director, UX Lead, DesignOps Manager, Digital Design Strategist, Brand Specialist, Photographer, Web Designer, DJ, Food-blogger and a few more.
Truth is, I have a constant desire to reinvent myself because I love to learn something new every day and find new ways to express my creativity.
And my excitement never faded in all these years.

Background
I’m a Designer by trade.
First with Graphic Design and Branding, then embracing Web Design in its early stages. Featuring among the Top 10 Web Designers To Watch, being published in books and giving public talks at conferences. Then climbing the ladder to finally reach the position of Creative Director in a large international company of 10.000 employees.
Already while working in the Design industry I had learned and developed my photography skills.
I was regularly published in magazines such as Digital Camera Magazine (Italian) and won Best Photo Blog Of The Year with my food blog.
This led to starting receiving commissions, including one with a very important Italian art gallery. I can’t name it, but chances are you know it. And if you used their virtual tour app, well, you saw my medium format hi-res photos.
After I moved to London, I had my first exhibitions, including one with Instagram photos, a year after the app launch.
Recent years
I took a sabbatical after almost 25 years in the Design industry: I needed a break to get out of a burnout phase.
I went travelling around the world (literally, going full circle moving East) and visited 20 countries in a year. Of course, I had my camera with me. This helped me find my happy place, so I decided to dedicate my time and efforts to it.
I keep a foot in my former profession by using my experience to mentor/coach Designers and I offer creative consultancy to companies.
As a Photographer, I take in commissioned work, I sell prints of my photos and digital products and I offer classes, workshops (to individuals or groups) and mentorship.
When in London, I also partner with AirBnB Experiences to offer exclusive photographic tours around the city to passionate visitors.
In the meantime, I’m always featured in photography magazines and exhibitions in several cities around the world. In August 2020, my work was showcased in Nature Photographer Of The Year in Vancouver and in February 2021 in Photographer Of The Year in New York.
