What is a Full Moon Photography workshop? I’m sure by now you have seen that NASA often publishes striking images of the full moon aligned with famous landmarks. There’s a photo by an Italian photographer published a couple of months ago that has become quite famous. And for good reasons, because the alignment is simply spot on. Something that obviously requires lots of knowledge and preparation. Well, these things can be taught....

I recently asked an AI, in this case Microsoft’s Copilot AI, to produce a creative blog post to promote my new Full Moon Photography workshops in London. The result was, at times, both hilarious and poetic, so I decided to publish this anyway. Though it may not be all made-up nonsense: in fact, the band Pearl Jam decided to turn into music and lyrics the same Super Blood Wolf Moon I had...

I had the opportunity to use the new Fujifilm XF 8mm F3.5 the day it was announced. Almost out of the blue. I asked one of my contacts at Fujifilm if they had the 8-16mm lens at hand because I needed an ultra-wide angle lens to photograph an apartment for Airbnb. The spaces were a bit restrictive, therefore I wanted the widest non-fisheye lens in the Fujifilm range. Luckily, a magazine reviewer...

World Travel Market London just closed the door on its 43rd edition. It is one of the most significant events in the Travel industry, and it is always stimulating to wander around and talk with travel professionals. There are tour operators, national and local tourism boards, tech companies, etc., all under one roof for 3 days of talks, networking and fun. The last time I visited the World Travel Market was pre-pandemic....

The time has come for some Street Photography workshops in Florence! When I went in Summer, I was focused on creating content for Fujifilm and couldn’t find the time to host them. But I’m back for Xmas now, and now I have a chance to host you at my workshops. There will be 2 workshops, one at night and one all day, and they will be lots of fun. If you followed...

Beautica Magazine (website – instagram) is an internationally publishing magazine about all kinds of creative Fashion, Beauty, Nude and Boudoir. They partnered with myself and a pool of talented London-based photographers to create a special edition for Halloween 2021. And 15% of all sales are donated to the Great Ormond Hospital for Children in London, so it’s also a great opportunity to do good.

You read it right: my Photography workshops are back. The lockdown measures are easing in the UK. And what the government just announced is finally allowing me to restart hosting my Photography workshops. Shops are reopening, the safe distance is reduced to “1 metre plus”, and we can have gatherings of up to 6 people… We’re getting there. I’m not travelling yet, even though I desperately want to. Therefore my engagements are...

Yes, prints are now on sale in my shop! You probably remember my post about what to expect from me this year (don’t worry if you don’t, here’s the link). So you know this was due. I started selling prints even before I established my photography business. The first time it happened, I had not planned for it at all. I posted my photo of the sunrise over the Haleakalā volcano in...

When I wrote my post about what to expect from me in 2020, coronavirus (Covid-19) had not yet made the news front pages. In these past few days, I took some time to reflect on the situation. On what it means for my business. This is still a work in progress, but some decisions are to be made. Since I began this journey as a professional photographer, travel has always been the...

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 Xmas...

I know this will sound incomprehensible to most of you: I don’t have a public portfolio on my website. Which looks pretty counterintuitive for a Designer.This article (first published on medium.com) is not meant to be a suggestion to ditch your own. This works for me for reasons I will elaborate on here, but it might be the wrong choice for everybody else. It could also be for me, but since making...

– So, I went to see your dad yesterday. He asked me if you’re well.– Uh, yeah. I guess. Why did he ask?– He said the last time he saw you, you never smiled.– Oh. Well, maybe I was tired for the travel.– Then he said he saw your cousin, and he also mentioned when you two met. He felt you were not well either.– Oh, really? This is pretty much when...

TL;DR: I’ll be hosting a photography and editing workshop in Tel Aviv in a couple weeks. It’s been almost a year since I went to Israel for the first time. I was there to attend another one of the many OFFF events worldwide. And the Israeli edition was one of the highlights of last year.I can’t believe time flies so quickly! But it does indeed. And it’s time for me to go...
