World Photography Day is celebrated every year to promote photography as a hobby and also inspire photographers around the globe to share a single photo with the rest of the world.
The first official World Photo Day was observed on August 19, 2010.
The origin of World Photo Day comes from the invention of the Daguerreotype.
It is a photographic process developed by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1837.
