Today, August 19, we celebrate World Photography Day, which owes its first breath to the Australian Korske Ara in 2010 and is also the date when, in 1839, the physicist François Arago presented the daguerreotype, the first photographic process for developing images, to the Academy of Sciences and Visual Arts in Paris.
From that day on, the visual arts benefited from a new form of expression, after sculpture, painting, and drawing.
A shot that captures emotion in an instant and fixes it forever, conveying a story to which nothing can be added, except a caption and millions of thoughts.
Spirit and purpose, in black and white or in color, tremendously modern and an tireless travel companion. Intimate and essential as a form of artistic expression as well as a tool to preserve and crystallize historical and cultural memory.
Photography has always had a decisive impact on our society, capturing significant moments in an instant, and then being shared around the world.
Powerful and representative, it tells the story of all time, capturing men, events, occurrences. Now, becoming increasingly accessible through a smartphone, it is a major protagonist in our daily lives, through traditional media and social media.
Today we dedicate one of our shots to World Photography Day, it will be a way to pay tribute to this beautiful visual art.
