worldpicture
worldpicture is a global visual repository and collaborative platform that aggregates photographs, illustrations, and multimedia from contributors worldwide to document cultural, environmental, and social phenomena. Founded in 2010 by a partnership between several non‑profit organizations and technology firms, the project aims to provide free, high‑quality imagery for education, journalism, and research. The platform is structured around thematic collections that can be sorted by region, topic, or event, enabling users to explore visual narratives about topics such as climate change, indigenous traditions, and urban development.
Contributors include professional photographers, citizen journalists, and local communities who upload images under Creative Commons licenses.
In addition to its repository, worldpicture hosts educational resources, such as lesson plans and case studies,
