Hi all

I'm Fabien, around 42years, 1 month and few days old, living in Toulouse (south west of FRANCE).

I've started photography in 2008, when buying my first DSLR. Since that day, passion has grown, becoming a true addiction.

Mainly captivated by macro-photography, i try to emphasize the nature beauty and its poetry, in each picture I made.

Sometimes, pictures i produce are straight from camera with just little adjustments taking them as they come.
But more and more, i process my pictures to give them a particular atmosphere, a deeper feeling, like in a dream.

In term of composition first, i try to get, as much as i can, everything right before pressing the shutter button, to avoid as much as possible cropping the final picture.
I never modify the structure of the bokeh, with adding artificial blur or whatever. That's why i take particular attention when composing in the viewfinder, playing with foreground and background to create nice natural bokeh.
Every and each picture is made from a single shot (no stacking, no composite)

I always shot in raw format and all settings are made manually to get the maximum opportunities

Finally, my work in post production consists in playing with colours, in the same way as photographers, who make black and white photographies. I use individual colour cursors and white balance, to adjust them in a way, that suit me.
More than a hooby, i 've found in photography, a way of expressing my feelings and the different states of mind, a human being can experiment in every and each moment of his life
