Fuji X Passion Photography Magazine – June 2026

Fuji X Passion 120 invites readers into a world where photography becomes a bridge — between generations, between memory and presence, between the stories we inherit and the ones we choose to tell. Across these 148 pages, five photographers open their worlds with honesty and depth, revealing how creativity grows not from haste, but from connection: to tradition, to music, to night, to nostalgia, and to the tools that shape our way of seeing.

Each article is a reminder that photography is more than technique. It is a way of honouring what matters, of slowing down enough to feel, and of discovering meaning in the moments that quietly ask to be remembered.

Thomas Bassetti – A Family Tradition, A Photographer’s Story
In this heartfelt feature, Thomas Bassetti guides us into the soul of the Corsa dei Ceri in Gubbio — a celebration where devotion, identity, and community intertwine. More than an event, it is a living ritual carried through generations, a testament to belonging and shared memory.
Photographing from within the crowd, Bassetti captures not only movement and colour, but the emotional pulse of a tradition that shapes the people who uphold it. His story is a powerful reflection on heritage, family, and the privilege of documenting something that lives in the hearts of those who participate.

Matteo Ceschi – A Broad Inclusive Look at the Stage: Fuji X and the TTArtisan 14mm
Can a modest 14mm lens reveal the full drama of a live performance? Matteo Ceschi set out to find the answer, testing the TTArtisan 14mm f/3.5 at two concerts worlds apart in atmosphere and energy.
Through his images, we see how perspective becomes a creative tool — how a wide lens can embrace musicians, audience, movement, and emotion in a single frame.
This thoughtful exploration of live music photography shows that storytelling is not about price tags, but about curiosity, experimentation, and the willingness to see the stage from a new angle.

Emanuele De Luca – Creating Memories Straight Out of Camera
Photography, for Emanuele De Luca, is an act of preserving emotion — not just capturing scenes, but safeguarding the feeling within them.
In this insightful interview, he shares the philosophy behind his celebrated Fujifilm Recipes, explaining why reducing time spent editing can deepen our enjoyment of photography.
His reflections touch on nostalgia, creativity, and the beauty of everyday life, offering a gentle reminder that sometimes the most meaningful images are those created simply, honestly, and with presence.

Ciaran O’Brien – Tinnitus Nights
After a life-changing injury, Ciaran O’Brien found himself navigating sleepless nights and the constant hum of tinnitus. Photography became both refuge and expression — a way to embrace the silence, the neon glow, and the solitary figures that inhabit the late hours.
His atmospheric night images reveal a world shaped by sensitivity and introspection, where darkness becomes a canvas for emotion.
This moving story invites us to consider how adversity can transform creativity, and how the act of photographing can help us reclaim moments of stillness.

Hugo Pinho – Why I Still Photograph with Older Gear
In an age of rapid upgrades, Hugo Pinho chooses to slow down — returning to the Fujifilm X‑Pro1 and the timeless XF35mm F1.4.
His reflections explore the value of familiarity, the charm of older tools, and the idea that truly knowing your camera can shape your photography more profoundly than chasing the newest release.
A thoughtful meditation on simplicity, intention, and the enduring joy of creating with gear that feels like an old friend.

Fuji X Passion 120 is an invitation to pause, observe, and reconnect with the heart of photography.
A celebration of tradition, creativity, and the quiet moments where meaning emerges — not through speed or perfection, but through presence, curiosity, and the courage to look closely.
