Once again, I found that I had used one of the Instagram banned hashtag. Now, this has nothing to do with the infamous “shadowban” practice controversy. I noticed a slight decrease in engagement compared to previous posts, so I decided to investigate a little. It turns out that the hashtag #sunriselovers had been flagged for inappropriate content. Which meant that it was not generating any engagement because Instagram hidden my post. This...

As you may know, I've been chasing this epic London sunrise holy grail timelapse for about a month. To the point, it had almost become an obsession. And, of course, it was never guaranteed that I would get it! But the efforts finally paid off. You can find all about it in my latest YouTube video… And I promise you: it's going to be EPIC! Also, is the Fujifilm X-T4 simply the...

First (and so far only) day of snow of 2021, so of course I had to go out for a Snow In London photowalk! I love the snow, maybe because it is always been so rare in every city I have lived in. In Florence, for example, people still talk about the snow of 1985… This rare! The river Arno also froze, and you could walk over it, so that's why the...

Yesterday, during their X-Summit, Fujifilm officially announced the new GFX100S and it's a beauty! It's the fourth large format mirrorless camera from Fujifilm and it really is the best yet. It is incredible how much punch is packed in this tiny body. Still with all the great features and excellence of this large format sensor. But in less than 1kg and with much better ergonomics! And, of course, the well-known image quality...

If you ever want to become a better Photographer, there is one thing you need to start doing right now. Particularly when you're starting this new career, it's very easy to fall into traps. You buy a new camera because you saw all the great examples of what it can do in YouTube videos or Instagram posts , and you go straight out capturing everything you see. You find your photographer “role-models”...

The two questions people ask me most frequently are why I shoot with Fujifilm cameras and how I decided to be a full-time Fujifilm photographer. Because of the lockdown, I'm spending more time in the studio now, so this is a chance for another talking head video and time to answer these recurring questions. It was probably always in the cards, as Fujifilm has been with me since the beginning. But it's...

Happy New Year, my friends! We are finally leaving 2020 behind us… Such a challenging year for the whole world! Exactly a year ago, I was fighting with the crowds to secure my spot at St.Paul’s Cathedral in London to get the sunset aligned with the London Eye. Something I achieved, as you can see in my latest Instagram post . Little did I know that fast forward twelve months, I’d be...

Photographer Of The Year 2020! How exciting is that? And how did that happen? Well, I received an email informing me that a photo of mine has been selected to be featured in the Photographer Of The Year exhibition in New York in February 2021. Photographer. Of. The. Year. 6 months ago, when I started my YouTube channel, I had just received a similar email for the Nature Photographer Of The Year...

That's right: I created 4 weeks' worth of Instagram content walking in Central London for less than 30 minutes. It could even be more than 4 weeks, considering I'm a bit of a slow uploader on my main IG feed at @fabienb . But here are 20 photos I find worth sharing. At 5 a week, that's 4 weeks of Instagram content. All taken on a short 30-minute walk. A little of...

Only a few days ago, I talked about avoiding problems with Fujifilm X-T4 by keeping it clean (and how to do it). Unfortunately, my camera had a few other problems that couldn't be solved by simply removing some dust. You probably watched many videos about its qualities, but not many cover the Fujifilm X-T4 problems. And I wish I didn't have to make this video either, but the issues have gone way...

How to clean the X-T4 sensor, or indeed any camera sensor, is a question we photographers eventually have to ask ourselves. Even if you swap lenses in what looks like the most dust-free environment, one day, it will happen: you'll see a dust spot in your images. Myself, I believe I am the fastest lens-swapper in the universe (totally!) but I still see these spots every now and then. Of course, it...

I'm publishing a video editing breakdown of my latest YouTube video, “Fog”, to thank you all. The feedback you are giving me on these latest cinematic vlogs and the response on YouTube have been incredible. I am still a very small channel and seeing that my recent videos are watched by thousands of you means a lot. A lot. So, thank you all very much! This video editing breakdown is split into...
