19 August is World Photography Day announced by the French government. The World Photography Day originated from invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic process which was developed by Joseph Nicèphore Nièpce and Louis Daguerre.
In 2009, Korske Ara, an Australian photographer launched the World Photography Day Project. On 19 August 2010, the first global online gallery of World Photography Day was hosted. The day is celebrated in order to unite global as well as local communities of the photographers.
