A photograph has the power to immortalise a location, an event, a concept, or a specific instant in time. It is claimed that a picture speaks a thousand words because of this.
In order to celebrate this beautiful art form, World Photography Day was born in 2010.
On August 19, 2010, about 270 photographers uploaded their images to an international web collection. The online gallery was viewed by visitors from more than 100 countries.
This occasion served as the inaugural World Photography Day.
But what exactly is World Photography Day and how can you participate?
What is World Photography Day?
World Photography Day celebrates the art, craft, science and history of photography. Additionally, photographers from all around the world are encouraged to send a single image that perfectly captures their reality on this day.
The daguerreotype, a photographic method created in 1837 by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, is also celebrated on World Photography Day.
The invention was made public by the French Academy of Sciences on January 9, 1839.
