World Photography Day
World Photography Day traces its roots back to August 19, 1839. This date marks the moment when the French government purchased the patent for the daguerreotype process and released it
- to the world as a gift. The daguerreotype, invented by Louis Daguerre, was the first practical photographic process and played a crucial role in popularising photography.
The first official celebration of World Photography Day was organised by Australian photographer Korske Ara in 2010. Ara initiated the World Photography Day project in 2009 to encourage photographers to share their work with the world, fostering a global appreciation for the art of photography.
World Photography Day celebrates the diversity of photography, encompassing everything from landscapes and portraits to street and wildlife photography. It highlights the technological advancements in the field, from early daguerreotypes to modern digital cameras and smartphones. This day serves as an inspiration for both amateur and professional photographers to explore their creativity and share their unique perspectives with the world.
