World Photography Day is observed worldwide on 19th of August every year with a lot of passion and enthusiasm not only by photographers but all the people across the world regardless of their professions and interests.
The idea of capturing something spectacular and making it a keepsake or a memory through amazing pictures is all one looks for to either to reminiscence in the years to come or have pride in the story that the photograph has to say.
To mark World Photography Day, De Beers Forevermark lets you in on some exclusive photographs from their diamond natural reserves and diamond routes that say a story about the brands Building Forever initiative and reminding us of all what the beautiful nature has to offer.
