What is World Photography Day?

Every year on August 19th, World Photography Day (also known as World Photo Day) commemorates photography's art, craft, mathematics, and history of photography. Photographers from around the world are also encouraged to post a single image that captures their world.

The kind of photography we see today dates back to 1839. The French Academy of Sciences announced the Daguerreotype process at that time. On a sheet of copper, the process made it possible to produce a highly detailed image. The sheet was coated with a thin coat of silver, but the process did not require the use of a negative. It was the first method for getting a permanent image with a camera.

George Eastman of Rochester, NY, who died in 1884, refined the Daguerreotype process. He replaced the copper plate with a dry gel on paper, which he referred to as film. Photographers no longer had to carry heavy copper plates and hazardous chemicals around, thanks to this invention. Eastman invented the Kodak camera in 1888. Photographs were taken by virtually every person on the inventional.
