AAP Magazine#4: Shapes
Submit your work: HERE
Send me your best work! Deadline September 30, 2018
Our fourth 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.

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.

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 $1,000in cash awards, their winning image(s) or full portfolio published in AAP Magazine#4, extensive press coverage and global recognition.

The 15 selected photographers will have their work published in our first printed magazine!
Congratulations to all the participants.
Black and White the results!
Mysterious, intense, timeless, at times nostalgic, black and white photography is, to me, magical. These images remind me of why I fell in love with photography in the first place.
As a curator, I am intrigued by images with fresh ideas and vision. But as a photographer who loves black and white photography and who has spent a lot of time in the darkroom, I am drawn to both powerful contrasts and nuanced greys.
As a result, my selection for this exhibition is subjective and undeniably emotional. I wanted to showcase the vast range of possibilities that black and white photography offers, from images inspired by the pioneers of photography to fresh interpretations that digital techniques allow.
Jurying this black and white exhibition was a difficult but fascinating experience. Thank you for allowing me to discover so many incredible images. I was captivated by the stories you had to tell, your unique point of view and your creative choices.

Opening reception Expanding Boundaries, LACP’s Third Annual “Fine Art” Exhibition!
Friday, May 25, 7-10 pm
About:
You are cordially invited to attend Expanding Boundaries, our Third Annual “Fine Art” exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography.The Los Angeles Center of Photography proudly presents Expanding Boundaries, its Third Annual “Fine Art” exhibition, a beautiful collection of photography selected by Scott B. Davis. Out of 742 different images submitted for this competition, Mr. Davis selected 45 images (from 29 photographers) for the exhibition at the Los Angeles Center of Photography, showing May 25 – June 22, 2018. In addition, 51 images (from 29 photographers) were selected for a virtual online gallery display on LACP’s website. This is an annual call for entry exhibition in the spring of each year.
The Juror:
Scott B. Davisis an artist and founder of the Medium Festival of Photography. His photographs are created with wooden view cameras ranging in size from 4×5 to 16×20. The images explore plant communities in the Sonoran desert and ordinary urban spaces in the American landscape. Davis’s prints are made by hand using the exquisite 19th century process known as platinum printing. His work has been reviewed in the New York Times, the Village Voice, the New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, and other print media. Davis’s photographs have been collected by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Pier 24 in San Francisco, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Museum of Photographic Arts, and others.In 2012 davis founded the Medium Festival of Photography, an annual event that brings emerging and established contemporary photographers to San Diego for four-days of portfolio reviews, artist lectures, exhibitions, and related events.
Juror’s Statement:
Expanding Boundariesis a celebration of contemporary artists working with photography, each exploring the medium’s perceived limits and visual possibilities. The exhibition spans much of the history of photographic processes including traditional darkroom work, images that include mixed media, and those made entirely with digital technology. Altogether, they form a dynamic exhibition offering a window into the state of photography in 2018.The selections embrace the idea of expansion and limitation through widely ranging subject matter. For some this is through bodies of work concerned with exploring new modes of visual expression, while others encompass more ephemeral suggestions of how photography can expand boundaries. Themes consistent throughout the exhibition include mystery, imagination, history, and bold uses of the medium itself.
The photographs on view demonstrate the ability for photography to be an increasingly fluid medium, using its inherent specificity as a starting point while bravely charting new avenues for creative exploration – Scott B. Davis
Selected Exhibiting Artists at LACP:
Aline Smithson, Alyssa Fujita Karoui, Anastasia Davis, Annabel Graham, Brooke Nevin, Craig Smith, Danny Oh, Diane Fenster, Gregory Talley, Jeffrey Lipshitz, John Waiblinger, Jonas Yip, Kate Houlne, Kerry Mansfield, Kris Moore, Labbie Manesh, Lisa McCord, Mara Zaslove, Molly McCall, Paul Ivanushka, Paula Riff, Richard Chow, Sally Ann Field, Sandrine Hermand-Grisel, shesaidred, Susan Lapides, Tina Jo, Todd Bradley and Yoichi Kawamura

Exlusive interview with Tariq Zaidi
After winning All About Photo Awards 2018, I had the privilege to talk with Tariq Zaidi.
You can discover the full interview: HERE
All About Photo: First of all, congratulations for being All About Photo's 2018 Photographer of the Year! Could you tell us what was the determining factor in submitting your work for this specific contest?
Tariq Zaidi:Thank you. I am extremely humbled and very honored to have been awarded All About Photo's 2018 Photographer of the Year. Thank you, AAP and the Jury panel for recognizing my work.
The work I submitted was half from my recent 2017 reportage work from Brazil, Congo and North Korea – together with other images from travels before which may be considered more as travel photography – hoping to provide the Jury with a balanced overview of my work.
AAP: In 2014 you gave up a senior corporate position to become a full time photographer. What triggered this decision?
Tariq Zaidi:After almost 20 years in business/corporate world - I was so tired of the corporate environment, it was just killing me and I felt like I was going to die if I kept doing this, I need to live, do what I love and give it a shot.
A friend of mine who is a professional photographer, who is very successful said to me 'Do you know how hard it is to become a professional photographer? Because just in London alone there are something like 22,000 photographers who are trying to make a living, you are just not going to make it, it's just so hard. Before you quit your job make sure you have enough money to somehow survive for the next three to five years because you are not going to get anywhere for at least 5 years and that's if you are damm good & lucky'. You know what, I just said 'perfect' I love that challenge and I'm going to go for it irrespective of what you say. I set myself targets and financial budgets, like I can only spend this much this year as I need to buy a computer, I need to buy software, I need to buy a camera, it all costs a lot of upfront money. I knew I needed to sell my photographs so at least I'm not losing money. The last thing I wanted to do is lose a job I can probably never go back to and get into debt. I wanted to make it a successful business and my idea of success was not losing money for the next five years.
I was very lucky, I had a tremendous amount of success for a beginner in my first year. I was involved in multiple assignments, I was lucky enough at that time to be teaching, people were buying my photographs, I was getting published and things just flew! Even though my target for year one was not too loose money, I actually made some money, enough to try another year and then another and well, here we are now".

Announcing the winners of All About Photo Awards 2018!
It was a privilege and an honor to be one of the jurors for this new edition of All About Photo Awards 2018. First of all, I can't thank enough Liu Bolin, Eli Klein, Crista Dix, Marco Gualizzini, Elisabeth Mouchy, Ann Jastrab and Michael Itkoff for their patience and hard work. We received more than 4,200 images from around the world and it was a long and difficult task to select the images that would make it to the second round. After spending a lot of time watching the images over and over again we selected around 900 images from 362 photographers. The overall quality was amazing and many more photographers could have been featured in our winners' gallery but in the end I hope you like the ones we have selected. You will also be able to discover new portfolios in the upcoming months, some of them who are not in our winners list but who truly deserve to be showcased on All About Photo. Thank you to all the participants, I wish you all the best with your future projects and hope that you will send us more projects in the near future.
