We are delighted to have you join us in celebrating the birthday of photography on August 19th, 2024. This project is an open invitation to photographers of all ages and skill levels from around the world to capture the essence of life on this special day.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a global tapestry of images that reflect the diversity, beauty, and complexity of our world. By encouraging participants to photograph their surroundings, we aim to document a single day through countless lenses, showcasing a rich variety of subjects, emotions, and moments.

How It Works?

Participation: Whether you are a seasoned professional or picking up a camera for the first time, we welcome you to participate. There are no gear restrictions; you can use any camera, including your mobile phone.

Photography Date: The key requirement is that the photograph must be taken on August 19th, 2024. We want to capture the world as it exists on this one day.

Submission: Register on our website to receive updates and submission details. After August 19th, you will be able to submit your photo through our online form. Please ensure your photo's metadata includes the correct date, and remember to respect privacy and copyright guidelines by obtaining model releases if your photo includes recognizable individuals.

Our Vision

We envision a book and online gallery filled with stunning images that tell the story of our world on August 19th, 2024. Selected images will be curated into a beautifully designed book, with proceeds donated to a charitable cause. This project is not for profit, and transparency regarding costs and proceeds will be maintained throughout.

Why Participate?

By participating, you become part of a global community of storytellers. Your photograph will contribute to a unique and collective record of a single day, capturing a wide array of subjects and emotions. Additionally, you have the opportunity to see your work published and to support a charitable cause.

Our Commitment

Transparency: We are committed to being transparent about the project’s costs and proceeds. Participants will be kept informed about how funds are used.

Privacy: Your email and personal information will only be used for project-related communications and will not be shared with third parties.

Respect for Rights: You retain full copyright of your submitted images. By participating, you grant us permission to use your photos in the book, on our website, for promotional purposes, and in live streams, always with proper credit.

Future Projects

This project is just the beginning. We plan to continue the Global Photo Project in subsequent years, inviting new and returning participants to capture the essence of life on August 19th annually. Each year will bring fresh perspectives and new opportunities to celebrate the art of photography together.
