Every year people from across the globe celebrate World Photography Day, with many discovering it for the first time – some find out about it in the following days. World Photography Week now helps ensure that the global celebration of photography is more inclusive for all those who find out about it after August 19th – while also getting others ready for World Photography Day, in the days leading up to it!

World Photography Week is a two-week-long worldwide celebration of photography beginning a week before World Photography Day, on August 12th, and running a week after, through August 26th.

On each day of World Photography Week, share a photo on your favorite social media platforms that you’ve taken that has meaning to you, along with the story behind it, using the hashtag: #WorldPhotographyWeek.

Then, search for posts using the tag #WorldPhotographyWeek from August 12th to 26th on the social medium of your choice, and “Like”, comment and share the photos that resonate with you the most. If you discover a photographer whose work you appreciate, be sure to give them a follow on social media, as well!
