'Mannequins' as editor's pick in Life Framer:

Delighted to be participating in Africa's largest photography festival, in Addis Ababa, commencing December 6.

Exhibition opens 22 November in Tel Aviv.

Delighted to have been selected as finalist for the Meitar Award for Excellence in Photography in conjunction with Photo Is:rael, Tel Aviv. As part of the award, Searching for North Korea will be exhibited at this year's Photo Is:rael and then in collaboration with the 2019 Head On Festival, Sydney.

Very pleased that 'The Hands that Rock the Cradle' has been awarded an honourable mention by Martin Parr in Life Framer's Open Theme.

Jury comment: "Fabian’s image shows seven North Korean orphans sat underneath portraits of their country’s leaders. On the one hand it’s fun and playful – in its counter-framing, with all interest pulled to the edges of the composition, and how these seven children sat in an orderly line, dressed to match and echoing the repetitious pattern of flowery wallpaper behind them, gazing off into the middle distance like their leaders they sit below. But on the other it provides a thoughtful comment on their lives and what we learn about North Korea from the news – these children not yet old enough to understand the societal structure they live in, an order and rigidity that seems so alien to the majority of us in this world. They seem a little unsure, lost navigating a complex world without parental support. Beyond the political connotations it’s a tender document of human life, and one can’t help but be swept up in it."
