So I walk the road on the hills that surround the city and reach Forte Belvedere. Most tourists...
Read MoreThis fourth episode of the YouTube mini-series in Florence is all about GFX 50S II Street Photography. As I mentioned before, this is not as fast and powerful as the GFX 100S. But the new iteration of this camera has a lot more processing power, so it is much easier to use outdoors and not miss a moment. I made a video about shooting Street Photography with the previous version of Fujifilm...
Read MoreWith all the content I produced on my trip to Florence, a proper tribute to the indisputable hero of its skyline, the Duomo di Firenze, had to be made! And here I'm doing what no Florentine has ever done before. All 1000+ steps of the Florence Duomo in one day! To give you beautiful 360° views of Florence from above :) As you know, I've had the opportunity to test Fujifilm's new...
Read MoreNow that we've been through the first impressions, it's time for a proper Fujifilm GFX 50S II hands-on review. I just started to edit and put together all the GFX 50S II content I created. And it becomes obvious to me that this will become a series because there is a lot of content! So, episode 1 was the first impressions video. Episode 2 is this Fujifilm GFX 50S II hands-on review....
Read MoreI just received my first dose of Covid vaccine! Some people have strong opinions against vaccines… Personally, I don't understand the fuss based on a fake reseaarch, but I do respect every opinion. But to me, this is a big deal! And it can be for the future of my channel as well! You see: my photography used to take me abroad for the majority of my time, travelling around the world...

Read MoreYou read it right: my Photography workshops are back. The lockdown measures are easing in the UK. This is finally allowing me to restart hosting my photography workshops. Shops are reopening, the safe distance is reduced to “1 metre plus”, and we can have gatherings of up to 6 people… We're getting there. I'm not travelling yet, even though I desperately want to. Therefore, my engagements are limited to London for now....
Read MoreBack with a Story Behind The Shot with Jökulsárlón, and also back in time. I shot this some years ago in a touristless Iceland, with a then-brand-new iPhone 6 Plus. That's right, no fancy camera, just what was always in my pocket. The Story Behind The Shot is a column I regularly send to all newsletter subscribers. It is now exclusive email content, no more sharing on this blog. So, if you...
Read MoreToday's Story Behind The Shot at Haleakalā is about one of my absolute favourite photos.. After quitting my Creative Director job, I travelled around the world. In one instance, I literally travelled full circle moving East (and that's when I started this blog). It was a trip that gifted me with many experiences, memories and friendships. To start, it was my first time visiting East Asia, and getting in touch with a...
Read MoreI missed last week's appointment. With all that is happening in the world right now, I thought you all had better to do than read my stories. But some of you reached out asking about the newsletter, and it seems that light content like this can provide some relief. I'm glad. So here it is. Peer support group on Slack First of all, one important update. I started a peer support group...
Read MoreWhen I wrote my post about what to expect from me in 2020, coronavirus (Covid-19) had not yet made the news front pages. In these past few days, I took some time to reflect on the situation. On what it means for my business. This is still a work in progress, but some decisions are to be made. Since I began this journey as a professional photographer, travel has always been the...
Read MoreSo, 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...
