Capturing Diversity Through Photography
Photography has a special magic. It freezes moments in time and tells stories that cross all borders. The Global Photo Project, happening on August 19th, 2024, wants to harness this magic by inviting photographers from everywhere to create a shared visual story. So, what's the big idea behind this project?
A Worldwide Photography Party
August 19th is a special day because it's photography's birthday—a perfect day to celebrate the invention that changed how we see and remember our world. The mission of the Global Photo Project is to make this day a big, inclusive party for photography. We want everyone, no matter who they are, to snap photos of their surroundings and help create a global collage of images that show our world's beauty and variety.
Showing Off Life in All Its Colors
Our world is huge and full of stories waiting to be told through photos. The Global Photo Project wants to show off this diversity by asking participants to photograph anything that catches their eye on August 19th, 2024. We want it all, from busy city streets to peaceful nature scenes, happy celebrations, and thoughtful moments. The goal is to capture life's full spectrum in just one day.
Building a Community of Photo Lovers
At the core of the Global Photo Project is the belief that everyone has a story to share. By joining this project, photographers become part of a global community of storytellers who love photography. This community welcomes everyone, regardless of age, background, or skill level. Whether you're a pro or just starting with a camera, your perspective is valuable and welcome.
Creating a Lasting Memory
The photos from the Global Photo Project will be collected into a beautifully designed book and an online gallery. These collections will serve as a lasting memory of the day, showing how life unfolds worldwide. Plus, the proceeds from the book will go to charity, so the project not only celebrates photography but also gives back to the global community.
Being Transparent and Ethical
We're committed to being transparent and ethical throughout the project. Participants keep full copyright of their images and permit for use in the book, on the website, and for promotion with proper credit. We'll be open about the project's costs and how the proceeds are used, maintaining the trust and integrity of our global community.
Looking Ahead
August 19th, 2024, is just the start. The Global Photo Project will continue each year, inviting new and returning participants to capture the essence of life on this special day. Each year will bring new perspectives and opportunities to celebrate photography together.
