World Photography Day 2025 will be celebrated on August 19 (Tuesday) with the theme “My Favorite Photo.” Observed globally, the day marks the 1839 invention of the daguerreotype—considered the first practical photographic process. It is a tribute to the art, history, and impact of photography in connecting people and preserving memories. From August 12 to 26, World Photography Week will also be held, encouraging people worldwide to share their favorite photos and stories on social media with hashtags like #WorldPhotographyDay2025.
