When is National Photography Month?

From May 1 to May 31.

What is National Photography Month?

National Photography Month every May celebrates photography as art, communication, and memory. Officially recognized by the US Congress in 1987, the medium itself dates back to 1826 when Joseph Nicéphore Niépce captured the world's first permanent photograph. Use this month to take more photos, visit galleries, or learn a new technique.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
