A visual journal exploring culture, food, and human stories — told with honesty, light, and time.
Round Circle Magazine is a visual journal born from the belief that stories still matter especially the quiet ones.
We explore culture, food, travel, and human stories through photography and honest writing. Each issue blends visual narrative and reflection, connecting people, memory, and place.
Founded by photographer Javier Shirley, Round Circle stands at the intersection of art and life between image and word, silence and noise.
We work with contributors, chefs, travelers, and dreamers who share one purpose: to capture truth without filters and beauty without excess.
Every feature, every frame, is part of a greater circle — where authenticity becomes our language and time, our material.

We stand for authenticity
We tell real stories honest, imperfect, human. Every photograph carries a truth that needs no filter.
We celebrate culture
Food, travel, and people connect us. Through each story, we honor the voices that shape identity and belonging.
We believe in time
Slowness is not weakness. It’s how light, memory, and purpose find their form.
We believe images can still speak
Round Circle Magazine was founded on a simple idea that a photograph can still move us, and a story can still change how we see.
We publish work that feels timeless: culture, food, travel, and human stories told with purpose and honesty.
Each issue is a reminder that there’s still beauty in slowing down, listening, and looking closer.
