All About Photo Magazine

AAP Magazine #5: COLORS

For this fifth magazine we chose twenty photographers for their different approach to the theme Colors. We were looking for work that would celebrate colors, showing its influence, its possibilities, and also its nuances. We were also looking for sophisticated images and work that was sometimes unexpected, but was shot with intention and focus. We hope that the images we selected for this edition of AAP Magazine open your mind to new ways of understanding color photography.
