Tate Gallery Reopens After Lockdown: A Photography Playground
The Tate Gallery reopens this week after a four-month closure due to the pandemic. Actually, all Tate galleries across the UK. I’m very happy this is finally happening, not just as a Tate member but also as an art lover and photographer. The Tate, specifically the Tate Modern, is a massive playground for all London-based street photographers. Its architecture may not appeal to everyone. I, for one, am not necessarily a fan...

Comet Neowise over London
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that’s what photographing Comet Neowise over London (or anywhere else, really) is! I’m not going to dive into too many descriptions of the event. I’m sure you all know about it by now.This is a once-in-a-lifetime event because the comet was only discovered last March, and it won’t be visible again for another 7000 years (seven thousand!). You still have plenty of time to witness it, as it will...

My Favourite Recipe For Black And White Photography
What do I mean by a recipe for Black and White photography? Fujifilm photographers should be familiar with the concept of recipes already. For everybody else, it is a combination of in-camera settings that allows, among other things, to recreate the effects of old analogue films. Something that Fujifilm is very passionate about, having created some of the most spectacular colour films in the good old years. Frankly, I don’t know if...

Street Photography in Harsh Light
In this week’s YouTube video, I walked the streets of London for some Street Photography in harsh light conditions. Oftentimes, photographers say that the best time for Photography is during the so-called Golden Hour (right after sunrise and before sunset) or Blue Hour (the dim light before sunrise and after sunset). While these bring plenty of good-quality light, they are not necessarily the ONLY times to go out and take photos. Particularly...

Black Lives Matter
A lot has already been said about the recent events that forced everybody to take to the streets and support the Black Lives Matter movement. Myself, I have fought racism at every chance in my everyday life. Even as a young Designer, my first feature in a prestigious book was for an anti-racism poster I designed. It’s not even something I think about; it’s just who I am. And it’s due to...

Post-Lockdown Street Photo Challenge: Chinatown POV
First day of shops reopening in the UK and I immediately went out for a post-lockdown Street Photo challenge in Chinatown.You can watch it unfold on my YouTube channel! :) Filming and editing for YouTube is so much fun. I really feel silly for having procrastinated for so long. I had always found plenty of excuses that, in the end, didn’t matter at all. Yes, I’m nervous being on the other side...

Fujifilm X100V hands-on + Vlogging with the X-T4
As you may know, if you follow me on Instagram, I spent last weekend going out doing a full Fujifilm X100V hands-on test. And I vlogged with the X-T4 in the meantime.

I finally managed to launch my YouTube photography channel only a few weeks ago and now I published my first vlog! To...

Think Outside of the Instagram Box
What is the Instagram box, you may ask? Well, Instagram has changed how we think about photography more than we can imagine. I’ll just give you some quick stats about the platform: (stats come from several sources: Digital & Social Marketing Conference London, Omnicore, Pew Research Center, Statista) Instagram was not the first online photography platform, but it was the first 100% mobile (even only on Apple iPhone in the beginning). And...

What to Expect This Year
So, what can you expect from me in 2020? If you follow me on Instagram (like you should, @fabienb) you may have noticed how I’ve gone quiet in December. This is often the case for me. This is the month I look back at all that happened during the year and then prepare for the new one. This time is also the start of the new decade. How exciting! With the Christmas...
