20 Winners of AAP Magazine #36: Street Photography Contest (21 Photos)

The 36th AAP Magazine Photography Awards took place. Here are the names of 20 talented photographers from around the world who won the AAP Magazine #36: Street competition. They know how to see and capture the atmosphere of city life, capturing “that very” moment.





“I believe that street photography is about capturing a moment in time that may never be repeated, but it also tells a story that is timeless. It is a dance between light and shadow, chaos and order, as the streets become the stage for human experience. Each frame contains a story waiting to be told, a piece of life frozen in the eternal movement of the city’s ballet,” said famed photographer Steve McCurry.
