While we here at PicsArt celebrate photography throughout the year, we are still thrilled about having this month dedicated to the recognition of photography. It&#8217;s especially\u00a0exciting as we are in an era where photography is accessible to everyone. Plus, we\u2019ve entered into a new age of photography: an age where communities of people can come together to digitally collaborate in the photo-making process. With anyone. No matter where they live.<\/p>\n<p>Photography itself actually evolved through collaboration \u2014 people building off of each other\u2019s ideas. It transformed from a pinhole light box that burned images onto paper to the highly advanced digital systems we have today.<\/p>\n<p>At PicsArt, we know that everybody is creative \u2014 and there\u2019s a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/252022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">science to back that up<\/a>. And as photography has evolved to being at the tip of our fingers, we see this creativity every day. And for five years, we have watched our PicsArtists not just become visual storytellers, but also organically share and collaborate with their like-minded creative communities. We grew with you and built programs and tools to help connect you with your peers from every corner of the globe.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24254\" style=\"width: 2538px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/meganannharmon_pa.picsart.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24254 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original.jpg\" alt=\"Freetoedit Original PicsArt Photo\" width=\"2538\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original.jpg 2538w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original-780x752.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original-1024x988.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original-1170x1129.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2016\/05\/Freetoedit_Original-585x564.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2538px) 100vw, 2538px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@meganannharmon_pa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The ability to create together, through collaboration, is something that we believe will lead us into the future of creativity.
