New Delhi: August 19 is celebrated as World Photography Day. Photography has become so popular today that many online photography schools have sprung up, teaching the basics to anyone, free-of-cost.
The objective of the day is to inspire more and more photographers, both experts and amateurs, to talk about a profession that is a fine blend of art and technology.
The origin of World Photography Day can be traced back to 1839 in France. It was on August 19, 1839, when the French government purchased the patent to the daguerreotype camera and made it free for use to the entire world.
World Photography Day brings together all the people who share a love for photography. This day celebrates the art of taking pictures and is very special for wildlife photography enthusiasts, photojournalists, and fashion photographers, and even amateur photographers.
