These creative filters from Hoya make for very interesting results. But more importantly, they...

You read it right, gear matters. I’m no stranger to controversial topics here and this video had to be made. But the more you watch it, the less controversial it will appear to you. And in the end, I hope that you will see how this is my way to...

If you follow my Stories on Instagram, you know that I just returned from my trip to Istanbul… And I immediately felt the need to publish these tips to photograph strangers! This trip was a game-changer for my Street Photography and here I’m sharing all I did to capture street...

When you’ve been a photographer for many years you give some knowledge for granted, and the Rule of Thirds is certainly among those. But as of today, this is still the most searched photography-related topic on Google. So maybe I should write about it. If there’s enough interest, I might...

I'm often asked why I shoot Fujifilm, rather than maybe follow the latest trends on YouTube and go with Sony or any big DSLR... Trust is, it happened by chance. Here's how.

Right, the pink supermoon… Or, how things don’t always go to plan.

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...

Early this morning, like every year, the Smithfield Christmas auction takes place outside of Hart’s Of Smithfield in London’s meat market. Please read carefully before proceeding! The Christmas auction was a butcher shop sale. If you’re vegetarian/vegan or get offended or upset by the view of raw meat, I heartily...

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 how Fujifilm calls this new “experiential concept store”. And it’s true that they offer all sorts of services to make you feel like...

As of this month, I started offering free photo critiques through my Instagram account @fabienb. The concept is really simple. I always try to find ways to give back and help the community and this is one more mean for me to do so. I ask my followers to send...

I feel like I need to write a few words about talent. It’s something I thought about after some feedback I received following my recent attempt to immerse myself into the world of street photography. You might have seen the results in my Instagram feed and stories (@fabienb) or in...

While in Tel Aviv for the OFFF event and my workshop, I decided to visit Jerusalem again. When I went last year I explored the holy city to find good landscape and travel photography opportunities. This year, I went with my friend Chris to photograph the life in the narrow...

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 around the world. And the Israeli edition was...

This must be the first creative advice I give in this blog. But I have developed a few techniques to help with my creativity and it feels fair I share them here. So let’s begin. One that’s always been very fruitful, is to constantly look away from my bubble. In...

Like I try to do almost every year, I attended the London Pride 2019 as well. It’s always a colourful parade and a full day of joy, fun, quirkiness, and love. And in these past 2 years I also went with the clear intention to shoot some good portraits. For...
