Happy World Photo Day! To celebrate, we have asked a few Schawk team members from around the world, what photography means to them. With such a broad request, these images and quotes went in a number of creative directions -- giving us a true global perspective. Whether that be creative, professional, or simply for leisure -- bringing us closer together through amazing captures.

"Photography to me is the visual vocabulary of
a story. Photography and stories alike, are
passages that allow our thoughts to go live
somewhere with special meaning, whether
that place be in the past, present or future."
PICTURES
ARE
STORIES

"Life passes by quickly and the unique, special
and meaningful moments of our lives pass by
even quicker. Photography allows us to hold
those moments. Suspend them in time and
capture people, places and events in the way
you want them remembered. Photos give us
the power of time travel. To go back and
relive, cherish and reflect on things that might
otherwise be forgotten."

Client Engagement Manager,

5. CONSUMER
EXPERIENCE
"Product photography helps me to appreciate
how photography can mimic an in-person
consumer experience with multiple views of a
product, a focus on quality lighting, authentic
color matching and clear product descriptions
so that shopping can happen from anywhere,
anytime."

6. SCIENCE &
ART
"Photography is what I do. Everyday. Lots of it.
It has taken me from there to here, from then
to now. It’s a combination of science and art, a
statement of where we’ve been and things
we’ve done. Created to be shared,
photography to me is being there."

Gustavo Toledo, Photographer
Schawk - Toronto

7. 07
"Photography helps me to discover new places
in the world where I would like to travel to.
Creating unique images at these places makes
me able to relive these special moments again
in the future."

"I think photography is about balance. There is a
harmony that happens between technology and
concept. Photography is about mechanics, optics,
speed and math. It’s also about the vision, the
idea, the composition and timing. When the art and
science come together in the right way great
moments are captured."
BALANCE
