All About Photo Presents 'When I Arrived' by Dave Jordano

Posted on October 01, 2026

In early 1972, at just twenty-four years old, Dave Jordano was a photography student at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. Armed with a 35mm camera and the curiosity of someone still discovering what photography might mean to him, he began photographing in and around the city. For roughly a year, he moved through Detroit and its surrounding neighborhoods, making pictures as assignments for school but also simply because he was looking. Most of those photographs were never printed. Inst

Announcing the Winners of AAP Magazine 60: Nature Photography Awards

Posted on September 25, 2026

There is something wonderfully humbling about photographing nature. We can spend hours waiting for the right light, following a change in the landscape, watching an animal, or simply noticing something small that we might otherwise have walked past. And sometimes, almost by chance, we are given a moment we could never have planned. This is what I love about nature photography: it asks us to pay attention. For AAP Magazine #60: Nature, we received photographs that approach the natural world i

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.

All About Photo Presents 'The Caretakers' by Mital Patel

Posted on September 01, 2026

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

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

Posted on August 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

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

AAP Magazine 58 B&W: Stunning Winning Images Revealed

Posted on July 22, 2026

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.

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

Henri Cartier-Bresson once said, ''The rhythm of surfaces, lines, an
