Here's The 25 Winners Of AAP Magazine Contest “Shapes”

We’re thrilled to reveal the 25 winners of AAP Magazine #50: Shapes!

This special milestone issue celebrates the visual power of form, geometry, and structure, showcasing how photographers use shape to tell compelling stories. From the curves of nature to the rigid lines of urban landscapes, shapes guide our gaze, create rhythm, and transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Chosen from hundreds of submissions spanning 11 countries across 4 continents, these images highlight the diverse ways photographers approach the theme. Some focus on minimalism and harmony, others explore repetition, symmetry, and abstraction, while many push boundaries with perspective and contrast. The collection demonstrates how shape can anchor a composition or disrupt it in fascinating ways.
