"A Walk In The Snow" Snow In London Photowalk

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...

Here Comes The Fujifilm GFX 100S!

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...

The ONLY Advice You Ever Need To Be A Better Photographer

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” and...

My Journey To Full-Time Fujifilm Photographer

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!

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 facing...

4 Weeks Of Instagram Content in Just 30 Minutes

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 my...

Fujifilm X-T4 Problems And Why I Sent It For Repairs

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, Official Fujifilm Method

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...

400 Megapixel Shots Are Now Possible with the GFX100

Oh yeah, 400 megapixel images are now a thing (408, to be precise). I mean, You could already produce 400 megapixel images (and beyond) by stitching images together. But you couldn’t take a single 400 megapixel shot. And now, thanks to the latest firmware update for the GFX100 medium format camera, it’s real. The GFX100 was already capable of shooting 102-megapixel images. But today Fujifilm released a new firmware update that adds...

Black Friday 2020: Best Deals For Photographers

It’s that time of the year again, Black Friday 2020 is coming this week! Last year, the deals list I compiled was a huge success, so I decided to do this again. I only link products that I know are good. Either because I have them myself or I used similar products of the same brand or I know them from trustworthy reviews. Nothing in this Black Friday 2020 list is added...
