The Aperture Collective was a little creative side project created back in 2014 by Subsurface Journal to celebrate some alternative angles in the carp scene and show that there is more to carp photography than a trophy shot and a token sunrise.
Want to get involved? Then just send over your images to editorial@subsurfacejournal.co.uk and the best submissions will be featured in CARPology magazine on a quarterly basis.
