Café Culture
There’s something about sipping a morning cappuccino at a Tuscan terrace, in a narrow cobblestone street, watching the town shake off its slumber, that is deeply satisfying. Bar Rossi is a small café in the medieval town of Orbetello. It has a good vantage point overlooking the shops on Corso…
“The Calm Sea” – The story behind this photo
That morning was special. I decided to join my dad for fishing, something he does regularly after morning prayers. I felt like going along this time. So, with excitement building up inside me, I happily joined my dad on our small boat in the calm waters of our island, Bilehdhoo,…
Moments of Silence – Czech Ossuaries in Photography
I stand alone in a darkened room. I absorb the atmosphere of the place. The silence. Reconciliation. Slowly, I get into motion. I watch the light, the shapes, while many empty eye sockets watch me. Bones and skulls are towering up. Witnesses of the ancient past. They speak of transience,…
Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1
This first archival book represents much more than a simple compilation of images. This book embodies, on the one hand, an attempt to present my thematic work in a tangible and chronological manner, but also to observe an evolution over the volumes. It is an authentic dive into my universe,…
It’s Street Fashion!
“It’s Street Fashion!” is an extract from “Sicily,” my more general work, which I have been pursuing since the first edition of the book was released in 2017. Subsequently, “Sicily” was transformed into an annual publication, a “private diary” in the form of a large format magazine. In 2024, number…

THE FUJIFILM X-T1, by Rupert Marlow
SLOWLY BUT SURELY I bought a Fuji X-Pro1 as soon as the local Calumet had one in stock. I hadn’t used it, I hadn’t read much about it, other than about the fancy new (at the time) sensor but the one thing I had seen was Zack Arias’ notes on…
Photographing London with the Fuji XF35mm F2
Up until about a year ago, I suffered from a condition I can only describe as “Lens FOMO”. The notable symptom is the fear of missing out (FOMO) on the perfect photo because I don’t have the right lens with me. To combat this, I would always carry a full…
Fuji X70. A New Class Act

Wedding Photography with Fuji X-Pro2
After over 20 years documenting wedding’s its quite natural to understand the process, although you would think that each wedding is the same, believe it or not; I still get butterflies the week before, its a good thing (I keep telling myself) because just as an actor gets nervous before…
Sony vs Fuji camera for Traveling
APS-C Sony vs Fuji Camera for Traveling? I’m a light traveler, so definitely mirrorless camera is what I need this day. I’m not a pro photographer, I shot JPEG only, and photography is just my hobby. Occasionally I try to send my photos to be published in magazine or local…

My name is Srideep Banerjee, a 20-year-old resident of West Bengal, India. I am currently pursuing B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering. Besides photography, I tend to align myself more towards the world of art, painting, crafting, cinematography, and being submerged in the world of music and movies. I like a range of music and movies from the 80’s classics to present-day rock and pop music. I do have a…

Why I converted camera religions
“I’m a Nikon guy,” I thought as I browsed through the list of Fujifilm X-T4s. “However, they do look really cool and geez, look at those video capabilities! Maybe it’s finally time to make the jump?” It took some arguing with myself in the mirror, but I eventually jumped the…

An evening at the Jersey shore
A few years ago, I purchased a Konica FS-1 on Facebook marketplace. It was a cheap kit, with several third-party lenses, a cable release, and a messenger bag. I made this purchase before I knew much about photography at all. At the time, it was the 50mm prime lens that…
