Commemorating World Photography Day

The soft click of the camera, a flash of light and a moment in time is captured forever. Although it may be digitally or on film, the medium is never as important as the memory or moment caught.

World Photography Day is celebrated globally every year on August 19. In the year 1826, French photographer, Joseph Nicephore Niepce had taken the first permanent photograph of all time.

World Photography Day is celebrated on August 19 each year to pay tribute to the art of photography, create awareness, share ideas and encourage people to take up photography.

It also serves as a motivating day for enthusiasts to pursue photography as a career.

The inception of this day dates back to 1837 when Frenchmen Joseph Nicephore Niepce and Louis Daguerre invented the ‘daguerreotype’ which was the world’s first-ever photographic process.

Find below some photos taken by #Edmages in different parts of the world to commemorate the day.
