Happy World Photography Day!

Date Posted: 19/08/2022


 World Photography Day

August 19th is celebrated annually by the photography community as World Photography Day! On this day people from all over the world with a passion for photographs come together to appreciate the history of photography and how far technology has come.

 

No matter whether you’re a professional or an amateur, we can all appreciate a photo. And as a way to celebrate the day, founders encourage us all to go out and take our own photos. So this World Photography Day we are taking a moment to look at some of our colleagues’ favourite photos of memorable holiday moments they have taken.

 

Why not take a moment to look through your own holiday photos and share some with us! 

Lady Liberty in the Springtime:

 

This image was taken in, of course, New York! After all a trip to see the Statue of Liberty is a must when visiting the Big Apple. 

 

Who has New York on their Bucket List?

All Aboard! The gate way to Florence & Pisa:

 

This image is the view from a cruise ship which was docked at Marina Di Carrara as our colleague arrived to visit Florence & Pisa. It was 33 degrees, sun shining and there was still snow on the mountains in the distance.  

 

Who would love to explore the world on board a cruise ship?

Sunsets in Zia:

 

This image was taken high up in the mountains of Zia, Kos where visitors flock to see the amazing sunsets that light up the dusky night sky. 

 

Would like to sit back and enjoy some traditional Greek food as you watch the sunset?

Who would like to drive these winding roads through the Californian Mountains?

Endless Horizons and Honeymoon Memories:

 

This image was taken in the Maldives by a colleague who was celebrating her magical honeymoon here. With endless ocean views, white sand beaches and swaying palms; this place looks like pure paradise! 

 

Who would love to visit the Maldives with someone special?

Ocean Dreaming in Greece:

 

This image was taken on a beautiful Greek Island in the summer time. With blue skies, glorious sunshine and calm turquoise waters; moments of pure relaxation can be captured by all. 

 

Who would love to sit back and enjoy this view today?

There's no place like home:

 

And finally a snap from our Head Office home right here in Sunderland. You don't have to travel far and wide to take some lovely photos- there is beauty everywhere! So this World photography Day, why don't you try heading out and exploring where ever you are in the world today and take some pictures!
