We are asking for photographers to explore the colour Blue in their photography. From the sky and the oceans, to clothes people wear and the buildings they live in or the artificial light that is used to light a scene, we want to see a variety of images that explores the colour Blue. This theme is pretty open and all genres of photography are welcome, all that is required is the colour Blue.

​ This will be the first in a series of exhibitions exploring the primary colours through photography.
Blue is an open call for photographers to submit up to 8 images that meet the theme Blue.
Photographers who are selected will have their work displayed in a month long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online in an online gallery on our website.
​ All participants that are selected to take part in the exhibition will be put forward for a chance to be named Photographer of the Month.

Motion Blur 2023
In most cases, photography is used to 'freeze time,' with a still image. Motion in photography creates a paradox: the image is a frozen moment in time but what is captured is an object that is a blur of motion – an apparent streaking, bending, distorting and /or movement of light and objects in the foreground or background of the image frame. Blur can demonstrate the velocity of movement. It can convey the emotional dimensions of the subject photographed; presenting dream like qualities by inv

The Fascinating Images of AAP Magazine #31 Portrait
Portrait photography is strengthened by a wide variety of forms and methods, ranging from identifying to the most sensitive approach of capturing emotions (including its potential to heighten the model or educate the audience). It goes beyond set studio photographs or ordinary family portraits to become a genre in its own right, allowing photographers to express their full creative potential. A portrait can elicit a variety of responses, including those that describe, reveal, embellish, question, and unsettle. However, if a portrait has a thousand faces, we could only display a few of them, thus in this new issue of AAP Magazine, 25 photographers from 11 different countries and four continents share their perspectives.
