All About Photo

Discover the solo exhibition here All About Photo is pleased to present Fading Shehuo, a compelling photographic project by Chris Yan, featured in our latest online solo exhibition. Shehuo is a traditional folk celebration associated with the Chinese Spring Festival. Rooted in ancient rituals honoring the land and fire, it has evolved over thousands of years into a vital expression of China's agricultural heritage. More than a festive performance marking the Lunar New Year, Shehuo embodies collective memory, strengthens community bonds, and preserves the cultural identity of rural villages across Northwest China. Today, however, this centuries-old tradition faces an uncertain future. Rapid urbanization has led many young people to leave their hometowns in search of opportunities in the cities, leaving behind aging communities and shrinking rural populations. As younger generations become increasingly disconnected from village life, the cultural significance of Shehuo risks b...

AAP Magazine is pleased to announce the 25 winners of AAP Magazine #56: Shadows, an international photography competition celebrating the creative power of light and shadow. Photography has always been defined by light—its ability to reveal, shape, and transform what we see. Yet shadows are just as essential to the language of the medium. They add depth, mystery, rhythm, and emotion, turning ordinary scenes into compelling visual stories.

The goal was to celebrate images where shadows are not simply present, but essential—where they become a force of expression in their own right.

From bold graphic contrasts to subtle, poetic atmospheres, their work reveals how ...

Passing Through is a new solo exhibition by Mexican photographer Olivia Vivanco that reflects on how to represent the migrant experience with care, dignity, and nuance. Rather than relying on images that expose, stigmatize, or reduce displacement to a single narrative, the project turns toward traces, objects, and spaces that hold the memory of those who passed through them. Rooted in journeys across Mexico, the series moves through migratory routes, shelters, and transitional spaces where waiting, uncertainty, and movement shape daily life. Roads, refuges, abandoned belongings, dining halls, pathways, and railway tracks become quiet witnesses—fragments of presence that suggest the stories of migrants without revealing their identities directly. At the heart of the project is an ethical approach to image-making. Passing Through resists criminalizing or stereotypical portrayals of migration, choosing instead to focus on resilience, solidarity, and hope. By shifting attention f...
