The winners of All About Photo Awards 2019 are live!

First of all, I would like to express my deepest thanks to our amazing jurors. It was a privilege to be able to work alongside Elizabeth Avedon, Alex Cammarano, Laura Geiser, Henry Horenstein, Ann Jastrab, Maxim Panés, John Rankin, Anna Van Lenten, John Rankin and Tariq Zaidi as co-jurors for this 2019 edition of the All About Photo Awards – The Mind’s Eye. Knowing how important it is to have one’s work acknowledged by our peers, it was a humbling experience to benefit from their experience and sharp eye.  All About Photo couldn’t thrive without the kindness and support of our amazing jurors. Thanks to their dedication, we can stay true to our goal of discovering existing and new talents and to help them gain the recognition and exposure they deserve.  

The All About Photo Awards is an event that I look forward to each year. Thousands of images I have never seen before scroll on my computer screen to my delight. Occasionally there are images that have captivated me before and I thrill to see them anew. It is a fascinating experience and yet a difficult one at the same time. Being a photographer myself, I find it sometimes hard to judge the work of others when I know how challenging it can be to express a vision, to capture an instant, to stand out from the crowd. 

When you have to review almost 4,000 images, in the end each juror’s choice is subjective and echoes their sensibilities. Our favorite images might not have always been the same, but after all the judging, we found out that whatever our preferences, some images stood out because of their compelling subjects or their undeniable quality. This is how we came up with the 35 winning images. There were many more that would have been showcased in the winner’s gallery if we could have featured more selections. That is the reason why, not only did I want to feature the winning images in this special edition of AAP Magazine, but also some of the others that were just a step from the podium. It will give you an idea of the amazing work that was submitted this year.

Whether your work is featured in this edition of AAP Magazine or not, I am grateful to all the photographers for submitting their work to the All About Photo Awards. Thank you for allowing us to discover so many incredible images, for enabling us to travel, laugh, hold our breath, wonder, think about the world we live in and the endless possibilities of the art of photography. It was a long, but fascinating journey. I hope we will be able to discover more of your incredible projects in the near future. All About Photo wouldn't exist without you.
