Celebrated worldwide on August 19th, Photography Day recognizes the importance of this art in preserving memory and creative expression. From amateurs to market professionals, the art of capturing moments is constantly innovating and evolving alongside technology, directly benefiting from the various gadgets and software that make this work increasingly easier.
Platforms like AliExpress, the e-commerce arm of Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group, offer a wide range of resources for photographic practice, ranging from essential accessories like tripods and portable studios to high-performance equipment such as digital cameras and interchangeable lenses.
“Photography goes far beyond pressing a simple button. There is pre- and post-production work that is often even more labor-intensive than the act of capturing itself. A dedicated professional needs to be well-equipped to ensure the quality of their work,” says Lucas Ramos, a celebrity event photographer. “But it doesn’t stop there—there are many external factors that interfere with this work. With advancing technologies, one must study extensively and navigate an increasingly competitive market.”
Throughout history, photography has documented events, told stories, and revealed different perspectives of the world, becoming a fundamental tool for culture, communication, and the visual identity of different eras.
