A Historic Lens - The Birth of World Photography Day
World Photo Day 2025 is the annual tribute to the art and science of photography. It marks the date when, in 1839, the French government released the daguerreotype process, a breakthrough that changed the way we capture and keep memories.
Questioning who invented "photography day" — well, it was not one person, but an achievement in history that the world over is celebrated by photographers and supporters alike.
