Der Greif - Issue 19 by Zanele Muholi
Der Greif has invited Zanele Muholi, supported by Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, to guest-edit Issue 19. The theme for the open call is “I Am Because of You, Mother Earth.” You are the environment. Your body is a landscape, your face a geography, your breath an atmosphere. The water in your blood, the minerals in your bones, the soil that feeds you: all of it connects you to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. This is the oldest truth there is. “I

Carlotta Gallery: Summer
Summer is experienced differently across the world. For some it brings intensity, brightness, and a sense of movement, while for others it unfolds more quietly through atmosphere, memory, and subtle changes in the environment. The season carries different meanings depending on where we are, how we live, and the personal associations we attach to it. Submissions may capture its feeling, presence, or atmosphere through any photographic approach. Both literal and conceptual works are wel

Carlotta Gallery: Landscape 2026
Landscape photography is not only about places. It is about the feeling of being in front of space that feels larger than you, quieter than you, or completely indifferent to you. It can create distance, calm, unease, nostalgia, or emptiness without needing to explain itself. A landscape image holds time in suspension. It turns movement into stillness and makes absence feel present. Carlotta Gallery is interested in how landscape photography makes us feel, and how it shapes those feeli

Winners Announced: AAP Magazine 57 Portrait Awards
Portrait photography is far more than a mere physical record of a face. It is a profound artistic genre operating at the crossroads of technical mastery and raw human sensibility. While early portraiture in 1839 mimicked the stiff aesthetics of classical paintings for the upper class, modern portrait photography has evolved into a dynamic celebration of the subject. A truly great portrait captures a privileged, fleeting moment where alchemy happens, allowing the photographer to peer beneath the surface and capture the very personality of the subject.
