We're excited to reveal the winners of AAP Magazine’s 43rd photo contest, where the theme of Colors bursts to life in vibrant and unexpected ways. This year’s edition is a feast for the eyes, spotlighting how photographers from around the world harness color to tell powerful stories and evoke emotions that transcend language.

Color isn’t just about brightness or contrast; it’s a way of seeing and feeling. Each of the 25 winners—selected from 15 countries across 4 continents—brings a unique vision to the theme, capturing shades that express the full spectrum of human experience. From bold, striking palettes to soft, dreamy pastels, these images invite viewers into rich worlds of mood, memory, and movement.

These artists go beyond simply adding a splash of color to a scene; they treat color as a storyteller in itself, one that can amplify the drama of a moment, evoke a sensory response, and bring deeper layers to the narrative. In AAP Magazine 43, you’ll find everything from neon-lit cityscapes and vivid natural landscapes to intimate portraits that use color to convey the subject’s inner world.

So, join us in celebrating these stunning works! This gallery isn’t just a visual experience; it’s a journey through the magic and mystery of color as seen through the lens of some of today’s most talented photographers. Dive into AAP Magazine 43 and let the world of color come alive in ways you've never seen before.

Would like to know what's going on, here? Is this some holiday where people put on blue makeup to celebrate Krishna?

The green and cream of the can really pick up the green of the seat back and the cream of the trim around the plane window. I also like sunlight coming in the window being duplicated by the sunlight (from the window in the seat behind?) hitting the can.
