My friend Dot Lung asked me to go live with her and talk about smartphone photography tips and how to take better photos with your phone. We both use iPhones, but all we talked about applies to Android as well. We did not talk about specific apps only available for one platform but actually discussed real examples of taking photos with a phone. Dot Lung is a fantastic Digital Media Strategist who...

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...

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...

In this week’s YouTube video, I take it to the streets of London for some Street Photography in harsh light. Oftentimes, you hear 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). And while these bring plenty of good quality light, they are not necessarily the ONLY times to go...

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...

First day of shops reopening in the UK and I immediately went out for a post-lockdown Street Photo challenge in Chinatown.And 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 always found plenty of excuses that in the end don’t matter at all. Yes, I’m nervous being on the other side...

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’m actually excited because it is my first vlog on YouTube! Something I had procrastinated for soooooo long. I finally managed to launch my YouTube photography channel only a few weeks ago and now I published my first vlog! To...

I created my YouTube account in 2006 and managed to wait 14 years to open my Photography YouTube channel. Now it's time. Too late?

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...
