AAP Magazine is pleased to announce the open call for Issue #48, dedicated to the theme of “Portrait.” We invite photographers from all backgrounds and experience levels to submit work that captures the essence of what it means to be human. Whether through traditional studio portraits, candid environmental shots, or the increasingly popular medium of self-portraiture, we are looking for images that convey a deep connection — a window into the soul that resonates across time, place, and identity.

This issue seeks to honor the portrait as both a visual and conceptual form of art. We are particularly interested in submissions that reflect diversity, emotional honesty, individuality, and artistic vision. The portrait is a powerful tool of expression and storytelling, and we encourage participants to push creative boundaries. All genres and formats are welcome: from carefully composed studio work to impromptu street photography, and from fine art portraiture to digitally enhanced concepts.

With a global population exceeding 7.5 billion people, the possibilities for storytelling through portraiture are endless. We want to see the faces and moments that have impacted you — the subjects that speak volumes through a single frame.

We accept submissions in all color palettes (color and black & white), styles (classic and experimental), and mediums (film, digital, mixed media). Innovative approaches and post-production techniques are encouraged, as long as they enhance the impact of the portrait.

Entries will be evaluated based on their creativity, originality, and the overall emotional and visual impact of the image. Selected winners will be featured on All About Photo and across its social media channels, receiving international exposure and recognition.
