AAP Magazine 19 Shapes
Category:
Theme:
Eligibility:
Our 19th printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "Shapes". A shape is the form of an object or its external boundary, outline, or external surface. Look around you, observe all the points, lines, patterns or silhouettes that surround us. Square or circle, triangle or hexagon, rectangle or oval, the choice is yours!
Reveal us the elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow!
The rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation... an organic coordination of visual elements
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Send us your images - series preferably- both where shapes may not just influence the pictures, but where it may also be the subject solely. Whether in portrait, landscape, nude, street or any other form of photography - classic or experimental: we're open to all genres and we want to discover the best and most interesting photography from all over the world.
Winners will receive $1,000 in cash awards, their winning image(s) or full portfolio published in AAP Magazine #19, extensive press coverage and global recognition.
All winners will have their work published in the fourth printed issue of AAP Magazine, a free copy of the magazine and their portfolio showcased in the Winners Gallery of www.all-about-photo.com.
