All About Photo (AAP) is one of those magazines that’s all about the art of photography. It also has several photo contests, and the winners of All About Photo Awards 2022 have just been announced.
The first place was awarded to Marcus Yam from the USA for his striking portrait taken in Gaza City. But there are many more amazing photos in the jury’s selection, so let’s take a look.
Marcus took his winning image on the evening of 25 May 2021 in Gaza City, four days after a cease-fire was declared in the 11-day battle between Palestinian militant factions and Israeli forces. “Gaza is a small place, and it was full of news photographers. Dozens of photojournalists descended on the scene of the vigil, with most of them taking their pictures at sunset,” the photographer explained. He perched on a nearby mound of rubble, waiting patiently for a quieter and more authentic moment. “It came just as a full moon was rising.” The resulting image is not one of the war photos filled with tension and terror. Instead, it’s a pensive portrait that draws you right in, yet it’s dramatic enough to show a lot more than you see in the image.

The second place was rewarded to Debdatta Chakraborty from India. The third-place winner is Konstantinos Tsakalidis from Greece or another dramatic portrait taken during fires in Evia in 2021.
