The new issue of FujiLove Magazine is here, and this month’s edition is a wonderfully rich mix of inspiration, field experience, personal reflection, technical guidance and beautiful Fujifilm photography.
At the heart of this issue is a simple but powerful idea: the camera is not just a tool for recording what we see. It also shapes how we move, how we notice, how we wait, and how we respond to the world in front of us.
We begin with Take Kayo, who revisits one of the most discussed cameras in Fujifilm’s recent history: the Fujifilm X-Pro3. In his thoughtful piece, Take argues that the X-Pro3 was never meant to please everyone — and that this is exactly what made it special. Its hidden LCD, its rangefinder-inspired design, and its slower, more deliberate shooting experience all point toward a camera created for photographers who want to stay connected to the act of seeing.
From there, Rick Halpern takes us to San Miguel de Allende in a beautifully practical and atmospheric field guide. He writes about light, stone, colour, shadow, timing, gear, street portraiture and the importance of returning to the same streets again and again until the obvious image gives way to something more personal.
This issue also includes Catherine Régnier’s delicate photo essay, Winged Fairies, a quiet and poetic journey into the world of dragonflies, damselflies and mayflies. Her images remind us that macro photography is not only about detail, but also about patience, fragility and wonder.
In An Ode to My Favourite Lens, Michael Govorko celebrates the XF23mmF1.4 R, reflecting on the special relationship photographers can develop with one focal length over time. We also feature a new selection from the FujiLove community in From the Feed, once again showing the range, creativity and visual curiosity of our members.
Our main interview this month is with Jess Ellis, whose work explores what it means to capture a real sense of place. It is a conversation about travel, attention, atmosphere and the small visual details that can turn a location into a story.
Dawn Eagleton continues her personal series with Exeter, UK: Photography Close to Home, reminding us that meaningful photographs do not always require distant travel. Sometimes the strongest work begins with looking more carefully at the streets, people and familiar corners around us.
In our Gear Talk section, Rico Pfirstinger continues his in-depth series Exposing Right, now in Part 30. Piet Van den Eynde looks at what is new in Adobe Camera Raw and why these updates matter for Lightroom users. Lee Varisshares how the XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 became his perfect one-lens travel companion across three countries. And finally, Dylan Goldby asks an important and surprisingly personal question: is your LCD shaping your photographs?
Altogether, Issue 124 is a magazine about choices — choosing a camera that changes your behaviour, choosing the right light, choosing when colour matters, choosing to work close to home, choosing one lens, one place, one moment, and giving it your full attention.
