Deadline: September 14, 2026
Der Greif Magazine

In today’s visual culture, "food porn" has transformed how we perceive, desire, and celebrate what we eat. Highly stylized imagery exposes abundance, perfection, and excess, even as opposing social media trends lean into raw, unedited food aesthetics. Yet behind these mediated images lies a stark reality: massive global food waste and rapidly shifting cultural relationships to sustenance. In honor of the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (September 29), Der Greif inv

Shapes in Photography: AAP Magazine 59 Winners Explore Form & Composition

Posted on September 26, 2026

AAP Magazine #59: Shapes celebrates the magazine's 59th issue with a global exploration of photography built around one deceptively simple idea: shape. Not as a formal exercise, but as a way of seeing. The photographs gathered here treat form, geometry, and structure as active forces in the image — elements that direct attention, set pace, and quietly shape how a story is read. Selected from hundreds of submissions from photographers around the world, this issue brings together work from 11 c

Some photographs make you stop scrolling. Others make you question whether you are looking at a photograph at all. The 2026 BigPicture: Natural World Photography Competition, presented by the California Academy of Sciences, has once again turned extraordinary moments in the natural world into powerful visual stories.

There are only two northern white rhinos left on Earth. Both are female. Fatu and Najin live at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, where they are protected by a dedicated team of rangers and conservationists who have spent years learning their habits, behaviours and individual personalities. The facts surrounding Fatu and Najin are almost impossible to absorb. The northern white rhino is functionally extinct in the wild, and the two remaining animals cannot be returned to a life they have ne

All About Photo Presents 'Vida es Cuba' by David Saxe

Posted on August 01, 2026

Every photographer arrives in Cuba carrying a certain set of expectations. Bright vintage cars, colorful facades, cigars, music, and perfectly preserved moments have become almost inseparable from the country's photographic identity. But every so often, a body of work reminds us that there are still new ways of seeing a place we think we already know. This month, we are pleased to present 'Cuba es Vida,' a solo exhibition by photographer David Saxe. Created over three journeys across the i

Black and white photography has an extraordinary ability to transcend time. By removing the distraction of color, it invites us to look more closely—to discover emotion in a gesture, rhythm in a landscape, tension in a shadow, or beauty in the smallest detail. It is a language built on light, contrast, texture, and imagination, one that continues to inspire photographers across generations. For AAP Magazine #58: B&W, we invited photographers from around the world to explore the creative possi

Winners Announced: AAP Magazine 57 Portrait Awards

Posted on June 10, 2026

''It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are.'' Paul Caponigro 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 s

All About Photo is proud to reveal the winners of AAP Magazine #56: Shadows, a compelling new edition dedicated to one of photography’s most essential—and most evocative—elements. The very origin of the word photography carries a quiet sense of wonder: to write with light. Simple in definition, yet infinitely rich in meaning. But light alone does not tell the full story. Without shadows, can a photograph truly exist? Shadows are not merely the absence of light—they are its counterpart, its
