Origins of World Photography Day!


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

Another photographic processes the Calotype, was also fabricated in 1839 by William Fox Talbot (it was announced in 1841). Together, the invention of both the photograph and Calotype mark 1839 as the year that photography was invented.
