AAP Magazine is now accepting submissions for its 48th edition, focusing on one of photography’s most enduring and powerful genres: the portrait. More than a visual representation, the best portraits reveal something deeper—a glimpse into the subject’s soul, a connection that crosses cultures, generations, and geography. This new edition of AAP Magazine invites photographers from around the world to share work that explores the aesthetic and emotional essence of portraiture. Whether taken in a controlled studio environment, captured candidly in the street, or created as conceptual fine art, portraits can celebrate diversity, honesty, creativity, and self-expression in countless ways. From classic portraiture to the rise of the selfie, all interpretations of the genre are welcome.

With this 46th edition of AAP Magazine, we aim to celebrate the women who continue to shape the photographic landscape — not only as subjects, but as visionaries. The theme of this issue centers on women as the subject, but the winning photographers include artists of all genders, united by a shared commitment to portraying womanhood in all its complexity.
