More than a decade since it was first officially celebrated around the world, World Photography Day remains a key date on the creative calendar. Every August 19, photographers from around the world take their photos, capturing their personal perspectives of the world. And World Photography Day 2022 will be no different.

History of World Photography Day

Of course, 2010 was not the first time the photography community celebrated this art form on World Photography Day. In fact, it dates back to 1837, marking the invention of the daguerreotype process (essentially the first commercial instance of photography, named after inventor Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre). However, as of August 19, 2010, World Photography Day became officially recognized as a bona fide global phenomenon.
