World Photography Day

World Photography Day

The changes that digital photography has brought along are immense. Professional photographers used to take photos only if they were sure it was a good shot. Amateur photographers did not want to waste one shot on a roll of film. Photography was an expensive hobby. Today, however, people take masses of images, because storing them on digital memory cards costs next to nothing. And taking 100 pictures of an event instead of 10 raises you chances of getting a really good shot and a better photo.

It’s very easy for many people now to take a photograph with a digital camera or mobile phone, but it was very different in the early days of photography. The first ‘camera’ was the ‘camera obscura’, which is Latin for ‘dark room’. A camera obscure is a dark room or box with a very small hole at one end. When light shines onto an object and passes through the small hole, the image is projected onto the opposite wall, but is not permanent like a photo. Artists used a camera obscure to draw objects accurately and quickly.

World Photography Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic processes developed by Joseph Nicèphore Nièpce and Louis Daguerre. On January 9, 1839, The French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government announced the invention as a gift "Free to the World".

Therefore, on August 19, photographers from all over the world celebrate World Photography Day! Whether you are your average everyday photographer, even if all you have is your cell phone camera or whether you are a full-time professional, the month of August 19 is a special day, wherever you are in the world.

Nepal Photography Training Institute family would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy World Photography Day. Let’s enjoy the day and make it as memorable as possible. We will be more than happy if you want to share your photos in our Facebook. (Nepal photography institute)
