Is there such a thing that called photographic memory?

If it does exist is there a way to develop and improve it?

The so-called photographic memory is actually called an Eidetic memory and it simply means you can remember many things in vivid detail. It's mainly found in children and is extremely rare. You can improve your overall memory techniques, but you'll never develop a photographic memory in the way I suspect you mean.

@Richard65 I will tell you my story, when i was in secondary school, i read a book about improving visual memory, i applied the technique in the book without waiting for any results but i remember now that in that time i could remember text so easily just by shooting the page by my eyes, just by one shoot i could remember the whole text which was a new strange ability for me then...i couldn't relate that to the techniques that i practiced for a month but i now after i read about photographic memory i can relate very well..so i asked this question
