Fuji X Passion Photography Magazine – September 2026
Fuji X Passion #123 — 135 pages dedicated to curiosity, observation, and the stories hidden within everyday life
Fuji X Passion Magazine #123 celebrates photography as an act of attention. Across 135 pages, seven photographers share personal journeys shaped by curiosity, patience, and a genuine desire to connect with the world around them. From bustling city streets to quiet landscapes, from documentary storytelling to cinematic experimentation, this edition explores the many ways photography helps us slow down and see more deeply.
The photographers featured in this issue remind us that meaningful images rarely come from rushing. Instead, they emerge through observation, persistence, and an openness to the unexpected. Whether documenting cultures, preserving memories, or discovering beauty in ordinary moments, each story offers a thoughtful reflection on what it means to photograph with intention.

Jasna Karin – Stay Curious, Slow Down, Pay Attention
For Jasna Karin, street photography begins with curiosity. Exploring the streets of London and beyond, she embraces patience and observation as essential tools for discovering the moments that linger in memory. Her approach reveals how paying attention to the smallest details can transform ordinary encounters into photographs that resonate long after they are made.
Sérgio Lopes – Simplicity, Analog Roots, and Capturing “Portugalidade”
Drawing from a photographic journey that began with analogue cameras, Sérgio Lopes reflects on the value of simplicity and intention. Through Fujifilm, he found a system that supports a more deliberate way of working, allowing him to focus on the landscapes, traditions, and subtle details that embody the distinctive spirit of Portugal. His photographs are a celebration of authenticity and a deep connection to place.
Dan Fabregat – Preserving the Present for the Future
Influenced by Barcelona, the Mediterranean, and the masters of documentary photography, Dan Fabregat sees the camera as a tool for preserving today’s reality for future generations. With his Fujifilm X-T3 and a preference for natural light and minimal post-processing, he captures honest moments, everyday details, and the beauty of imperfections. His work reminds us that documentary photography is not only about recording history, but also about recognising its value while it unfolds.
Varun Chander Sharma – The City Is Never the Same Twice
Based in Toronto, Varun Chander Sharma approaches street photography with a keen sensitivity to light, colour, and atmosphere. Inspired by cinema and photographers such as Saul Leiter, he finds inspiration in foggy mornings, rainy streets, and fleeting moments that transform familiar places into something entirely new. Using his Fujifilm X-T5 and a restrained editing process, Varun demonstrates how cities continually reveal fresh stories to those willing to look closely.
Graziella Melo – A Place You Can Step Back Into
For Graziella Melo, photography is a way of preserving not only places, but also the emotions and memories attached to them. From the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the forests and mountains of the Pacific Northwest, she seeks atmosphere, texture, and the small details that make a location feel alive. Her Fujifilm X-T5 allows her to create images that become personal landmarks, inviting both photographer and viewer to return to meaningful moments.
Alexis Iuri – Trust Your Eyes
Photography, for Alexis Iuri, is both a creative exploration and a deeply personal practice. Inspired by cinema, music, landscapes, and experimentation, he combines modern Fujifilm technology with vintage lenses and anamorphic techniques to create distinctive visual narratives. From the French Alps to home-built lens projects, Alexis encourages photographers to trust their instincts, follow their curiosity, and remain open to new possibilities.
Daniele Ghisleni – One Photo, One Story: Inside the Storm
In this edition’s One Photo, One Story, Daniele Ghisleni takes us to the turbulent waters of the North Sea. As strong winds and restless waves surrounded a small fishing boat off the Scottish coast, he witnessed a remarkable contrast between the power of nature and the calm determination of those who live alongside it. The resulting photograph is more than a seascape; it is a meditation on resilience, tranquillity, and the quiet strength that emerges when we learn to move with the storm rather than against it.
Fuji X Passion #123 is an invitation to stay curious, slow down, and pay attention.
A celebration of observation, authenticity, and the enduring power of photography to preserve not only what we see, but also what we feel. Through documentary work, street photography, travel, and personal reflection, this edition reminds us that the most meaningful stories are often waiting in the moments we almost overlook.
