AAP Magazine #48 Portrait, $1,000 Cash Prizes + Publication

AAP Magazine #48 “Portrait” invites photographers to explore humanity in each of us. From the classic studio portraits to the rise of the selfie, the best portraits give a glimpse into somebody’s soul, a connection formed across countries, cultures and ages.

They seek the submission of photographs that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: celebrate diversity, creativity, honesty and self-expression. Studio portraits, candid street shots, self-portraits, conceptual and fine art all welcome. With 7.57 billion people to choose from around the world, show them the ones that matter to you.

• All genres, capture types, color and B&W, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
• Applications will be assessed on three criteria: creativity, originality and the visual / emotional impact of the image. The winners will be announced on All About Photo and social media.
