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.

World Photography Day on 19 August is a celebration of photographic history – and a great excuse to share photos with the world.
