Theme: Travels

“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” – Steve McCurry

AAP Magazine invites photographers from around the world to submit their best travel photography for Issue 45: Travels. Whether you’ve captured stunning landscapes, vibrant street scenes, or intimate moments that reveal the soul of a destination, we want to see your story through the lens.

From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, we’re looking for images that celebrate the essence of travel, embracing diverse cultures, people, and places. It doesn’t matter if your journey is across the globe or just around the corner—what matters is your perspective and the story your photos tell.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome all genres and styles of photography, including color and black-and-white, traditional and non-traditional approaches, and all types of post-production processes. Whether you shoot with a professional DSLR, a film camera, or a mobile phone, this is your chance to showcase your talent.

Submissions should consist of a cohesive body of work or portfolio. Please note that only unified photo series will be published in AAP Magazine, and images previously featured in the magazine are not eligible.
