World Photography Day, a day to celebrate where photography has come and where it is going. From ancient Obscura cameras to smartphones, photography is an ever-changing field which has developed for centuries. Today is a day to celebrate the camera and the incredible minds of photographers who have utilized this tool to create art.
In 1837 the Daguerreotype process was invented by the French. It recognized as the very first permanent image. The French government announced a patent for it on August 19th to make it “Free to the World”. This was the beginning of world photography day.
2020 has brought change to parts of the photography world. Olympus cameras are no longer being made.
Even with this change, this helps photography move forward. Companies like Canon or Nikon will increase the number of cameras made and create new ones that pave the way for the future of photography.
Twenty years after the first digital photograph was taken, Kodak began mass producing cameras. Kodak is bankrupt now and that part of the market has been increased in Nikon and Canon cameras.
What can you do for World Photography Day?
Emerging photographers should take a leap forward. For example, advertise for a limited photoshoot or expand your blog with extra content. Those who are not photographers but want to celebrate should visit and support blogs. Buy a new photo for a room in your house and maybe from a small photo business. For more things to do click here.
