AAP Magazine #47 Shadows, $1,000 Cash Prizes + Publication

Our 47th printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "SHADOWS".

Mysterious, magical, intense, timeless, sometimes nostalgic... mastering the shadows in photography is an art in itself. It is a story in its own right, a unique form of expression.

Send us a cohesive body of work or portfolio - capturing the poetry and the power of shadows! The subject is totally up to you. Your photos can be in color or black and white, and be landscape, portraiture, street photography or any other genre. Any capture method or process, whether digital or analog, including monochromatic toning, is welcome.

NYC4PA CALL FOR ENTRY PATTERNS AND SHADOWS

Walking anywhere in the world at different times of day you can see dramatic changes as the light goes from midday bright to dusk.  Early morning/late afternoon light can transform a simple scene to one of great interest as shadows grow longer and shorter.  Consider city streets with shadows of tall buildings crossing sidewalks, cars, busses and people.  Similarly bright light casting shadows on a flight of stairs creates a canvas of black and white stripes. Just as powerful are shots where the impact of the image is derived from patterns in the composition such as the line-up of palm trees in the tropics with the shadows cast along a sandy beach, rows of theater chairs etc.
