Drishtikone 2020, Photography Exhibition @ ICAT, Chennai

World Photography Day originates from the invention of the Daguerreotype, a photographic process developed by Frenchmen Louis Daguerre and Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1837.. On January 9, 1839, the French Academy of Sciences announced the Daguerreotype process. On August 19, the French government purchased the patent and announced the invention as a gift “free to the world”.

ICAT, Chennai is proud to present our Photography students works as a Virtual exhibition to celebrate the World Photography Day Aug 19th 2020, which is celebrated as Founder’s Day by the Department of Photography. This aims to inspire photographers across the planet to share a single photo with a simple purpose: to share their world with the world. Photos even rise above the progression of time - A photograph taken tomorrow, can increased in value by others in a hundred years' time.
