AAP Magazine #6 - B&W

Our sixth printed issue of AAP Magazine features the best projects showcasing the theme 'Black and White'. Mysterious, intense, timeless, at times nostalgic, black and white photography is the cornerstone of photography. The selected portfolios all have different approaches to the unifying theme of black and white photography. Using film, digital photography or even Xrays, deep blacks or light grays, each photographer showcases a unique point of view.

AAP Magazine #4 - SHAPES

For this fourth magazine we chose eighteen photographers for their different approach to the idea of Shapes. Their work is diverse: documentary, architecture, nudes, still life, abstractions, images ranging from early historical processes like the wet plate collodion tintype to contemporary digital photography. We hope their images will inspire you and that their different approaches to the same theme will open your mind to new possibilities, to different techniques and perspectives.

AAP Magazine #3 - TRAVELS

Our third printed issue of AAP Magazine features the best projects showcasing the theme 'Travels'. Travels are made of a succession of days, encounters, discoveries ... And travel images are a state of mind while also embracing a particular photographic approach since it can be similar to that of the photo-reporter or a photojournalist.

AAP Magazine #2 - FACES

Our second printed issue of AAP Magazine features the best projects showcasing the theme 'Faces'. Some of the pictures are candid, others made in a studio, others montages. But all record a bit of the human condition as well as display an artistic ambition. They also illustrate a remarkably efficient means of communication transcending most language and cultural barriers. Faces no doubt reflect our inner thoughts and disclose those of our subjects.
