It is very difficult to imagine a world without photography. She has the power to tell stories, share the deepest feelings, make the most remote trips or even explore the wild natures around the world.

There are things that we cannot see with the naked eye, and in these cases photography helps us, such as the details of the structure of the iris or even continents seen from above.

world photography day was not set by chance. On August 19, 1839, in France, the first photographic technology was introduced in the world: Daguerreotype.

Depositphotos, a world-class stock photography platform, has curated a collection of images that depict different modern photographic genres. Check out the images and honor the creation of Louis Daguerre.

Even when your images only demonstrate reality, photography professionals have the gift to transform them. In Iceland, a photographer captured this fascinating scene of rocky cliffs situated on the country’s coastline.

In this area we have an older category, which are photographic portraits. The purpose of photography is to capture and reveal the individual’s emotional condition, showing its essence. At the same time, making photographic portraits of children requires a lot of practice, because little ones don’t hide their emotions.

Even today’s smartphones have settings for macro photography that allow cameras to focus on a few meters. However, these skilled professionals photographed insects through a special macro lens. Pay attention to how the butterfly scene appears to be organic and especially how the spider photo carries an emotional message.

A pro needs three items to successfully capture a whale leaping out of the water: a telephoto lens, a small boat, and a lot of patience. When you decide to take a picture in this scenario, you will certainly have to wait days for a whale and even then, you will have to be quite skilled to press the button on your camera at the exact time.

In the last century, the photographer was an indispensable component of scientific expeditions. For science, travel photography was fundamental.

Some photographs offer us the chance to see remote places we’ve never been. There are simply fascinating places for photographers, one of which is the area where a US plane (DC-3) crashed a few years ago. However, many are afraid to go to this location, particularly at dusk. This plane was found on the south coast of Iceland, close to the coast, far from any village or road. And the visit to the point where the plane is located must be done on foot.

In recent years it has been possible to obtain high-quality photographs of space objects. The sensitivity of these digital matrix cameras is ISO 4560000, do you know what that means? That this camera is 1,500 times better than the movies you watched in the last century.

You can get stunning pictures of stars, comets, asteroids and even the moon just by zooming in.

It could be said that wildlife photos are the icing on the cake when it comes to the landscape genre. The foundation of obtaining these images is to record the various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat. Depending on the photographer, both a kangaroo and a beautiful Australian countryside can make for beautiful images.

Some images help us realize how big nature is. The famous color variations in the Alps are notable for their amazing sunsets and sunrises. This valley with this small village looks stunning and also a bit intimidating. As well as, during these times the Dolomites resemble garnet stones.

Thus, with the advent of photography, we have the opportunity to visit every part of the world, even witnessing other seasons and climates.

Eadweard Muybridge originated in 1878 a sequence named Sallie Gardner representing a horse in motion. The first electrophotographs in history were made by him.

Modern photography has recorded virtually all human activities. Even the first flights like balloon and plane were photographed.

After the creation of photography, the aerial genre did not manifest itself as much. Straight from Paris, Gaspard-Félix Tournachon was the first photographer to fly in a balloon with a camera.

Currently, the aerial image can be made from a drone, kite, helicopter and mainly from an airplane.

We humans cannot survive underwater. However, with the evolution of our cameras, they are now capable of contemplating and recording everything that is happening at the bottom of the sea in real time.

Due to the human need to venture out photographing hostile places, even underwater, a photographic equipment named action camera was created.

Nowadays, you can tell incredible fictional stories without a single word, just by displaying an image. You can prove that you are the author of beautiful images through artistic photography and not just a contemporary critic.

Working as a photographer is not easy, it is an eternal search for creativity and expressiveness, nurtured by skill with retouching materials.
