We're delighted to reveal the names of the 24 talented photographers who
won ''AAP Magazine #26: Shapes''. Thank you to my dear friend Ann
Jastrab, the Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Art
for being a juror for this competition.
For this 26th edition of AAP Magazine, we were looking for submissions
of works of art that explore composition and form as a fundamental
aspect of the photographic aesthetic, be it pure visual formalism or in
support of a thematic objective. Understanding shape and form is one of
the pillars of photography composition, and it can make even the most
common object become a work of art. Geometric, organic, positive or
negative, shapes contribute to a photograph’s overall esthetics and
vibes.
We chose twenty-four photographers for their different approach to the
idea of Shapes. Their work is diverse: architecture, mixed- media, still
life, abstractions... and use different techniques & perspectives
but each one showcases a unique point of view.
