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...

Showcase Your Photography in a Month-Long Solo Exhibition At All About Photo, we believe that photographers deserve more than a single moment of attention. A strong body of work needs space to be seen, explored, and appreciated. That is why, each month, we feature one talented photographer in a dedicated Solo Exhibition on our online showroom. The next Solo Exhibition will take place from November 1–30, 2026 . This is an opportunity to present a cohesive body of work to a global photography audience and gain visibility well beyond a single social media post or competition result. One Photographer. One Month. One Dedicated Exhibition. The Solo Exhibition is open to photographers working across all genres and subjects. Whether your work explores street photography, photojournalism, portraiture, landscapes, documentary photography, fine art, conceptual work, or something entirely different, we are interested in seeing a strong and cohesive vision. You don't need to be a...

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...

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...

We’re thrilled to reveal the 25 winners of AAP Magazine #51: Colors, a tribute to the infinite ways photographers interpret and transform the world through color. Color is everywhere — in fleeting light, in the rhythm of city life, in the quiet harmony of nature. It can soothe or provoke, reveal or conceal, invite us in or push us away. Beyond its visual beauty, color holds emotion, memory, and meaning, shaping how we experience life itself. For this new edition of AAP Magazine, we invited photographers from around the globe to explore how color defines their creative vision. The resulting images range from bold, high-saturation compositions that pulse with energy to soft, ethereal tones that evoke calm and introspection. Together, they reveal that color is far more than a visual element — it’s a storytelling force. The 25 photographers featured in this issue represent 16 countries across 4 continents, each offering a unique perspective on how color transforms the ordinary int...
