All About Photo

All About Photo is pleased to present When I Arrived , a solo exhibition by Detroit photographer Dave Jordano, throughout October 2026. The exhibition brings together a remarkable series of photographs made more than 50 years ago, when Jordano was just 24 years old and studying photography at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. In early 1972, Jordano began photographing the city and its surroundings with a 35mm camera. For approximately one year, he photographed streets, neighborhoods, people, and the small, unexpected moments he encountered along the way. At the time, he could not have known that most of these photographs would remain unseen for decades. A Photographic Archive Hidden for More Than 40 Years After completing the work, Jordano stored the negatives away. They remained there for more than forty years until he rediscovered them in 2013. Going back through the negatives, he was surprised by what he found: a substantial body of photographs that already r...

Cuba Beyond the Frame: Why the Quietest Moments Often Tell the Biggest Stories Some places are photographed so often that they become almost impossible to see with fresh eyes. Cuba is one of them. Search for images of the island and you'll find an endless collection of vintage American cars, brightly painted buildings, cigar smoke, and lively streets. They're beautiful scenes—but they're only part of the story. Photographer David Saxe approached Cuba differently. Rather than chasing iconic locations, he spent three trips observing everyday life, allowing the people he met to shape the direction of his camera. The result is *Cuba es Vida* ("Cuba Is Life"), a photographic series that replaces tourist clichés with genuine human moments. The photographs don't rely on spectacle. A fisherman prepares his boat before sunrise. A young boxer trains with complete concentration. Musicians rehearse in nearly empty theaters. Children practice ballet with remarkab...

Black and white photography has an extraordinary ability to distill a scene to its essence. Without the distraction of color, light, shadow, texture, shape, and emotion take center stage, inviting us to experience the world with renewed attention. Timeless yet constantly evolving, monochrome photography remains one of the most expressive visual languages, embraced by photographers working across every genre. We are delighted to present the 25 winning photographers of A AP Magazine #58: B&W , selected from an exceptional international pool of submissions. Representing 12 countries across 3 continents, these photographers each bring a distinct vision to black and white photography, demonstrating its remarkable versatility and enduring relevance. The winning portfolios span an impressive range of subjects—from intimate family stories and compelling documentary work to evocative landscapes, portraits, architecture, and quiet moments of everyday life. Some images are bold and graphi...

Discover the full exhibition here A Photographic Journey Through Rural Europe As modernization continues to reshape the European countryside, many centuries-old traditions and ways of life are quietly disappearing. In Where the Earth Remembers, photographer Oliver Klink documents communities across Central and Eastern Europe where the connection between people, faith, memory, and the land remains deeply rooted. This compelling documentary photography project goes beyond picturesque landscapes. Instead, Klink captures the quiet dignity of everyday life, revealing how agricultural work, religious rituals, and family traditions continue to define communities living in close harmony with nature. His images of weathered homes, worn hands, and sacred spaces speak to generations whose stories are embedded in the land itself. Raised on a farm in Switzerland, Klink approached the project with a personal understanding of rural life. That shared experience helped him build meaningful r...

Solo Exhibition December 1 - 31, 2025 A Profound Look at a World in Transition: Curated by Ed Kashi All About Photo is proud to announce Antonio Denti as the winner of the December Solo Exhibition Contest, selected by internationally acclaimed photographer Ed Kashi. His long-term project, “Notes from the Edge,” offers a striking and poetic exploration of what it means to live in a world caught between collapse and rebirth. A Profound Look at a World in Transition In “Notes from the Edge,” Denti turns his camera toward the uncertain times we are all experiencing. His photographs describe a world where the old has already faded but the new has yet to fully emerge — a suspended, fragile moment in history defined by transition, turmoil, hope, and fear. The project examines multiple layers of contemporary life: global events, climate concerns, economic tensions, emotional states, and the fragile web of human relationships. Across borders and contexts, Denti notices the same und...
