In this new issue, we continue our exploration of photography as a deeply human practice — a way of paying attention, slowing down, and finding meaning in the ordinary. Across quiet streets, personal histories, creative awakenings, and the emotional pull of music and memory, five contributors share how photography becomes a companion to daily life. Their stories reveal a craft shaped not by perfection, but by curiosity, presence, and the gentle discipline of seeing slowly.
Anjali Mano – The Light Fantastic
Guided by light, colour, and an instinctive curiosity, Anjali Mano approaches photography as an evolving conversation rather than a fixed set of rules. From the magic of 35mm film to the tactile pleasure of Fujifilm digital cameras, her work is rooted in sensitivity — to texture, shadow, and the quiet poetry of everyday scenes. Her article traces a journey shaped by experimentation, community, and the questions that keep creativity alive.
Alejandro Jeronimo Ayala Perez – Seeing Slowly: Memory, Nostalgia, and Everyday Life Through Fujifilm
Alejandro Ayala reminds us that photography does not require distant landscapes or dramatic events. Instead, he turns his lens toward the familiar — the small gestures, the soft light, the overlooked corners of daily life. Through Fujifilm cameras and a mindful approach to observation, he reflects on memory, nostalgia, and the emotional resonance of ordinary moments. His practice becomes a way of preserving presence, consistency, and the subtle beauty that often passes unnoticed.

Chris Searles – A Focus on Feeling: How a Live Music Photographer Is Shooting Against the Grain

Working with manual-focus lenses and the Fuji X system, Chris reveals how he captures the raw energy of live performance — both from the pit and behind the scenes. His story is an inspiring look at craft, passion, and the pursuit of honest storytelling.
Gabi Marriott – From Phone Photos to Finding Myself Through Fujifilm
