Photographer Travelled The World To Document Children And The Food They Eat In A Week
Photographer Gregg Segal travelled the world to document children and the food they eat in a week.

Ndiaye, a devout Muslim and student at Quran School, loves sweet foods, such as a porridge, and goat meat, although in the week he kept a diary of his meals, he ate very little meat.

Capturing the Human Essence: Celebrating Exceptional Portrait Photographers in AAP Magazine
Presenting the extraordinary photographers crowned as victors of ‘AAP Magazine #31: Portrait.’
Echoing the words of Henry Cartier-Bresson, the act of capturing a portrait is a formidable task. It demands the photographer to bridge the void between the subject’s outer facade and their inner essence. The realm of portrait photography spans a broad spectrum of styles and methods, from simple subject identification to intricate emotional exploration. It surpasses the boundaries of typical studio portraits and casual family photographs, maturing into a separate genre that lets photographers exercise their unlimited creative prowess.
A portrait holds the capability to provoke diverse reactions, ranging from illustrative and revealing to enhancing, questioning, or even disturbing. Despite the world teeming with countless faces, we are able to feature only a limited few in this fresh edition of AAP Magazine. In this issue, we take pride in presenting the viewpoints of 25 photographers originating from 11 distinct countries spread over four continents. Each of these gifted individuals communicates their unique personal stories and singular approaches to the craft of Portrait Photography.
The Winner: The Series “Perspective” By Nanda Hagenaars (Netherlands)
