World Photography Day is commemorated every year on 19 August. On this day, photography enthusiasts come together to celebrate this beautiful art.
Significance:
Without the invention of cameras, it wouldn’t have been possible to capture the history of this world in images. You know how important people in history, like Mahatma Gandhi, looked because of photographs only.
Also, without showing the images, news media wouldn’t be trusted by the public as much. And if we talk on a personal level, you wouldn’t be able to know how you looked like as a child, or how your parents looked without the photographs.
And if you are a space enthusiast, then the non-existence of cameras would have been a disaster for you. All those beautiful historic images of moon landing, planets of our solar system, far away galaxies, etc. wouldn’t be available today if there was no technology to take photographs.
