Today is World Photography Day. A number of exhibitions and photography contests were organised across the nation to mark the occasion. This day aims to inspire photographers across the planet to share a single photo with the world. <br/><br/>On August 19 in 2010, World Photo Day hosted its first global online gallery. Almost 270 photographers shared their pictures and people from over 100 countries visited the website. On this day, camera persons also take stock of the different kind of photography that has come to the fore. <br/><br/>While long-known genres of photography like architectural, wildlife, fashion and sports have braved the test of time, newer ones like wedding, childbirth and food photography are also claiming a market for themselves. Photography is as much a passion as a profession. <br/><br/>To mark the occasion, photographers are sharing their photos with the world on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
