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 keeping pace with technological evolution, being directly benefited by the various gadgets and software that increasingly facilitate this work.
Platforms like AliExpress, the e-commerce arm of Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group, offer a wide range of resources for photography practice, from essential accessories such as tripods and portable studios to high-performance equipment like digital cameras and interchangeable lenses.
"Photographing is much more than just pressing a simple button. There is a pre- and post-production process that is often even more laborious than the actual shot itself. A dedicated professional needs to be well-equipped with gear to ensure the quality of their work," says Lucas Ramos, a celebrity event photographer. But it doesn't stop there; there are various external issues that interfere with this work. With the advancement of technologies, it is necessary to study a lot and deal with an increasingly fierce market competition.
Throughout history, photography has documented events, told stories, and revealed different perspectives on the world, becoming a fundamental tool for culture, communication, and visual identity across different eras.
