A blog post to celebrate my recent 2nd place at the Fujifilm Life As You See It competition: fabienb.blog/fujifilm-lif...
I would like to thank you all for your support, as well as everyone at @fujifilmuk.bsky.social for the opportunity ("Life is Opportunity" is also the image title).

A recent customer purchased the digital version before visiting Istanbul, and he wrote me then: "To be honest the book was perfect, it included the best amount of pictures and text. I would be very happy if you offered more photobooks for other cities, because they are high quality and helpful." 🙏🏻
It's taken a while to find a very good publisher who would allow me to sell at a more affordable price, but I've finally found one! So, my Istanbul Guide and Photobook is now available as a hardcover print as well: fabienb.blog/the-wait-is-...

The sun setting behind the Sky Garden in London, beautiful orange sky
To me it's not even much about taking the photo: I get most of the excitement from researching, planning, scouting locations, meeting people along the way...
Then, I am of course very happy when it goes to plan. But every one of these photos is so much more than a snap 🥰

Partial solar eclipse earlier today. The British weather had a timid attempt at bringing the clouds... Not on my watch!

The partial lunar eclipse of the Worm Moon behind the Shard skyscraper in London, photographed by Fabien Butazzi - @fabien
A grey wall of clouds before and after.
Just enough gap right on time to get the photo I wanted.
Lucky, yes. But you make your own luck by keep trying, again and again. And again.

Apple's AI photo editing revolution is coming! 🖼️✨
Voice commands will soon let you edit photos on iPhone just by speaking. Say "Apply cinematic preset" and it's done.
How will this change your photo editing workflow?

I was away in Dublin during the #WWDC24 event and I missed the streaming. I have finally managed to catch up and something very specific got me thinking—something... revolutionary? A blog post about one split-second sentence in a 2-hour event...

I experienced my first server crash caused by too many visitors at once on my blog. All because of this post: "#AI at #Meta, How to Object and Deny Consent".
I wish more people would come to my blog to enjoy my photography, but it's a start 😅
