A Trip Down the Lane: The Genesis of World Photography Day
Come August 19th, the world immerses itself in celebrating an art form that's as mesmerising as it is powerful, photography. World Photography Day isn't merely a nod to the past; it's a recognition of how far we've come since the first daguerreotype processes of the early 19th century.
The origin of this day traces back to the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic process developed by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1837. On August 19, 1839, the French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. And thus, World Photography Day was born, perfect for our photography competition near Heathrow.
