When is World Photography Day?
Saturday August 19thEvery year, 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 share a single image that encapsulates their world.
The kind of photography we see today dates back to 1839. The Daguerreotype process was announced at the French Academy of Sciences at the time. The process made it possible to produce a highly detailed image on a sheet of copper. The sheet was coated with a thin coat of silver, and the process did not require the use of a negative. It was the first way to get a permanent image with a camera.
George Eastman of Rochester, NY, who was born in 1884, refined the Daguerreotype process. He replaced the copper plate with a dry gel on paper, which he called film. This invention eliminated the need for photographers to carry heavy copper plates and hazardous chemicals around. Eastman invented the Kodak camera in 1888. Almost every person was allowed to photograph this invention.
Many people no longer use film in their cameras anymore, with the explosion of digital photography. However, some photographers would rather use film than digital photography.
