Coronavirus Covid London lockdown: Trafalgar Square
1st April 2020

Today, the London lockdown is still not as strict as in other cities around the world, but it is a lockdown nonetheless. The measures to fight coronavirus have imposed restrictions on travel, both internally and between countries. And therefore, many places now look like scenes from an apocalyptic Hollywood film. Particularly in those areas where flocks of tourists usually cram every empty corner, the view is very much on the eerie side....

Story Behind The Shot #3
15th March 2020

Some of my friends joke that I never sleep. That's because they see me publishing photos taken any time of the day. As a landscape photographer, I often shoot during the Blue Hour or the Golden Hour, when the light is absolutely amazing. With my recent interest in street photography, I now shoot a lot during the harsh light of the day as well. Or at night, playing with artificial light. And...

Oxford street photo walk | portrait
1st March 2020

I talked about the recent photowalk in Oxford with other fellow photographers in this post. It was a fun day. And I managed to try a few new things with my photography, including setting my camera display in black and white to focus more on shape and contrast. During the photowalk, I took a few shots I was pleased with. Many of them not too dissimilar from my usual street style, with...

Fujifilm X-T4 | Jonas Rask
27th February 2020

The Fujifilm X-T4 is here ! It's official. In an event held in San Francisco last Wednesday, Fujifilm publicly introduced the new iteration of the X-T series.I currently own the X-T2 (2 of them), and I was in Tokyo on the day of the X-T3 launch. But I skipped that upgrade. I wasn't shooting much video back then; therefore I didn't need most updates of that version. I do video now and...

Oxford street photo walk | panning
25th February 2020

Writing Oxford street might be a bit of a clickbait if you were looking for photos in London. But this is about street photography in Oxford, so… Anyway, here I am talking about another photowalk I attended.It's always great to go out, meet and shoot with like-minded individuals. I also often meet up with new groups. I love to connect with as many people as possible, hear new stories and learn something...

Story Behind the Shot - A break in the storm
16th February 2020

The photo I'm presenting today, shot during storm Ciara, is the one that made me think about starting this Story Behind The Shot series.The story is not dissimilar to the one I narrated in a previous post. But it didn't occur to me back then to make it into regular episodes. Starting today, this will also be a topic of my newsletter (to which you should absolutely subscribe here). Here is the...

Fujifilm flagship store in London
3rd December 2019

That's right, this morning the brand-new Fujifilm flagship store opened its doors to the public! And of course, I was there queuing! House Of Photography is what Fujifilm calls this new “experiential concept store”. And they indeed offer all sorts of services to make you feel at home. But let's start from the beginning… The Long Wait Historically, Fujifilm UK has never been a big player on social media. There seems to...

warm sunset over West London
21st June 2019

I often get my best results when I follow my gut feelings rather than plan for something. This story is a good testament to that. Since I returned from beautiful Georgia (more on that in a future post), the weather in London has been pretty grim and depressing. It rained almost every day, and it was generally cold and grey most of the time. This day was no exception. And frankly, there...

Travel - @fabienb with Stable Diffusion
4th September 2018

And so I'm packing for my month-long travel (longer, actually), and as always, the question is, “What do I bring with me?”. It wasn't always the case, but now I'm used to travelling light—sometimes super light. But that's for a week maximum, while this time, I'll be away for at least a month. I think I've been smart in choosing to travel between countries that will have consistent weather all along; only...
