Our Place Photos is affiliated with the established Our Place World Heritage global photographic project (www.ourplaceworldheritage.com), which has official partnership status with UNESCO. Our Place World Heritage is creating the "world's first official World Heritage photographic database" in conjunction with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Paris. It also sends professional photographers on assignment to World Heritage sites around the globe to document them for the UNESCO and Our Place archives. Our photos are also used in official UNESCO publications; on the Our Place World Heritage website; for educational and research purposes, and in public photo exhibitions and displays worldwide.
Our Place Photos was created to build an online community of aspiring and up-and-coming photographers to celebrate 'our place on our planet' through great and inspirational photography. We believe that good photography can inform and enthuse people about our shared global heritage, and hopefully inspire them to respect their own and others' cultural and natural resources.
Our Place Photos is YOUR site. Whether you are a hobbyist, an aspiring photographer, a tourist, or a professional and working photographer, we hope that you will contribute your photographs and enthusiasm for this important global project. Sharing your photos can make a difference at www.ourplacephotos.org. You can also share it on Twitter @ourplacephotos or on Facebook, www.facebook.com/ourplacephotos
