STREET PHOTOGRAPHY

BLACK & WHITE "STREETS"

The paths we walk daily, we call them streets. We built this world from scratch, into the magnificent masterpiece that it is now. The towering cities with their sky scrapers, blinding lights and bustling pedestrians. The little towns with bagel shops and Sunday church services where people know each other. The outer villages, with the
prosperous fields, the grazing sheep trotting their hoof-paved paths, and tractors growling along on small, one lane roads. Urban, suburban, rural, you name it… These landscapes fill our daily lives, minds and hearts. Now, discover a whole new world, and make it BLACK and WHITE!

AAP Magazine 28 Streets

Our twenty-eighth printed issue of AAP Magazine will feature the best projects showcasing the theme "STREET".
Encyclopedia Britannica defines Street photography has "a genre that records everyday life in a public place."

The Art of Street Photography

Street photography is the most contentious genre of photography. The captured image presents us with a glimpse of the ordinary and achievements of everyday life. The narrative nevertheless seems to repeat itself, year after year. We challenge you to examine and redefine conventional street photography. Potential subjects include but are not limited to architecture, candid, documentary, fashion, photojournalism, portraiture, still life, and urbanism. How far are you willing to go to get your best shot?

NYC4PA CALL FOR ENTRY - STREET PHOTOGRAPHY 2020

Vivian Maier, an unknown, left behind a treasure of images she took while walking outside on time off. Cartier-Bresson, Frank, Meyerowitz, Arbus, Evans, the list of accomplished street photographers goes on. Their work captured a special essence of life, not posed, not set up but there in the streets, yards, avenues, porches... we pass every day. Images as compelling surround us as we walk or ride in the streets of our lives. The challenge for this contest is to shoot those street images that set them apart from snapshots.  Again - opportunities abound.
