19th of August – World Photography Day

Photography is a unique phenomenon because in photographs you can capture events, interesting moments, beautiful places, beloved faces, moments that will never be repeated ... Thanks to them, you can go back in time, because looking through photos, we remember many wonderful moments of life. In addition, for some, photography is not just a hobby, but also a profession and even art.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this phenomenon also has its own personal holiday - World Photography Day, which all photographers (both amateurs and professionals) and connoisseurs of this art celebrate annually on August 19.

The date of the holiday was chosen due to the fact that on this day in 1839 the general public was presented with a method for obtaining a print of a photo - a daguerreotype, a prototype of a photograph.

In subsequent years, many scientists continued to improve the process of obtaining photographs using different materials and reagents. And today, in the world of digital technologies, we can easily take photos ourselves, which will then make us smile, feel sad, or hold our breath.

And, of course, photography occupies a special place in the lives of those who have chosen this occupation as their profession, because their work can rightfully be called art. Therefore, today all photographers can be congratulated on their professional holiday.

In general, World Photography Day is a holiday for everyone who loves to photograph and be photographed, which means that the event is incredibly bright and positive. Therefore, today, feel free to take in your hands any technique that can capture unforgettable moments and views, and go ahead!

Join the fascinating world of photography and involve your friends and loved ones in it, or you can also visit photo exhibitions, which, by the way, are often organized by various photographers or photo studios for this holiday. In a number of countries, masterclasses from professional photographers, various seminars, and flash mobs are also timed to this day.

Happy holidays, friends! See more often at the world and the surrounding reality through the camera lens and delight others with your unique photos.
