Spectacular Color Category Winners from the 2025 AAP Magazine Awards » Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

1st Place Winner: “Pastoral Peoples and Practices” by Trevor Cole, Ireland

The 2025 AAP Magazine Awards #51: Colors by All About Photo showcases global photographers who transform color into emotion, turning light into lyrical storytelling.

This vibrant issue proves that color isn’t merely visual—it’s a powerful language that evokes memory, wonder, and cultural identity. From neon-lit streets to icy blue caves, each image captures a unique moment, blending technical mastery with deep feeling. More than a celebration of photography, the Colors issue invites us to rediscover the richness of life through its most expressive medium.
