We’re delighted to reveal the names of the 25 talented photographers who won AAP Magazine #42: Shapes

For the 42nd edition of AAP Magazine, we invited photographers to explore the theme of Shapes as a crucial element of visual storytelling and composition. From abstract forms to intricate architectural details, we were looking for submissions that highlighted the power of shape and form in photography, whether used to create pure visual impact or to enhance a deeper narrative.

The mastery of shape is central to the art of photography. It can transform everyday scenes into stunning visual masterpieces, guiding the viewer’s eye and evoking emotion. Whether through geometric patterns, organic curves, or the clever use of positive and negative space, shapes play a pivotal role in enhancing the overall aesthetic and mood of an image.

This year, we proudly present 25 exceptional photographers whose work embodies the diverse and creative interpretations of shape. Hailing from 12 different countries across 4 continents, their photographs span a wide range of styles, including architecture, landscape, street, still life and abstraction. Each artist brings a unique perspective and technique, demonstrating the endless possibilities that arise when composition and form take center stage.

The Winner is Sander Vos (Netherlands) with the project “Interpolation”’
The Second Place Winner is Bence Mate (Hungary) with the project “ Dark Is The Night “
The Third Place Winner is Jakub Wencek (Poland) with the project “ Frozen ponds in the Barycz Valley”
