International day of photographic art

Автор: 19.08.2015 | holiday, art
Year by year, on the 19-th of August the photographers from the different countries (amateurs as well as professionals) celebrate International day of photographic art.

In 2009 this holiday was established by Australian photographer Korske Ara. It is no coincidence in choice of the date: on the 9-th of August, 1839, French painter, chemist and inventor Lui Dagger demonstrated to French Scientific Academy the process of obtaining of daguerreotype – images on the heliophobic metal bar. On the 19-th of August government of France claimed him invention as “the gift to the world”.

Daguerreotypy is considered as the first practical method of photoengraving. It was created about 1822 by French developer Joseph Niepce, but only with the efforts of Dagger this way of receiving of photographic image became well-known worldwide. Deguerreotypy was forced out by collodion process, but it is thought as foundation of the modern photography.

In 2009, Australian photographer Korske Ara proposed to celebrate International Day of photography in this verily day, on the 19-th of August. The web-site worldphotoday.org was loaded, and in a year the global online-gallery was opened at it, where photographers share their art in virtue of holiday.
