According to new research from UK photo printing giant Max Spielmann, over 90% of daily photos are now captured with smartphones, as opposed to professional or even film cameras.
Passionate photographers are turning to the power and connectivity of social media to mark World Photography Day this year (19 August), which has adopted the theme ‘An Entire Day’. Everyone is encouraged to post a photo or video taken on 19 August, to capture an entire day around the world under the social media tag #WorldPhotographyDay.
