📸 WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY 2026 — WHAT DOES “HOME” LOOK LIKE TO YOU? ❤️
On Wednesday 19th August, photographers and photography lovers around the world celebrate World Photography Day.
The date commemorates a landmark moment in photographic history — the announcement of the daguerreotype photographic process in 1839, one of the earliest practical forms of photography.
This year, there's a wonderful theme to inspire us:
🏡 HOME
And home can mean so many different things.
It might be the house where you live, the street where you grew up, a favourite corner of Sutton Coldfield or Lichfield, your family, your garden, a local landmark — or simply somewhere that gives you that unmistakable feeling of belonging.
So we'd love you to get involved.
📷 Pick up your camera or phone
🚶 Take a walk around your local area
❤️ Photograph something that represents HOME to you
💬 And share your photograph with us in the comments
It doesn't matter whether you're a professional photographer, an enthusiastic amateur or someone who simply enjoys taking photographs on their phone.
Photography is about seeing something worth remembering — and capturing that moment forever.
And perhaps that's particularly important locally.
Our towns, parks, buildings, businesses and communities are constantly changing. The everyday photographs we take today could become the historical photographs people treasure 50 or 100 years from now.
So this World Photography Day, let's create a photographic celebration of the places we call home.
📸 What does HOME look like to you?
We'd LOVE to see your photographs. ❤️
