We’re Team Flickr!

A Flickr Evangelist

Recently I’ve helped a number of musicians collect photos in Flickr. There are strong arguments for storing your images there in addition to having Instagram, Facebook and website galleries - here:

The Top 10 Reasons to use Flickr!

  1. Your photos and videos can be private, for Flickr friends or family, or public so extra exposure in another venue

  2. With a “Pro” account you have unlimited storage, but you can start and test with a free account and upload up to 1000 images

  3. Create albums and collections to keep all pics from an occasion or related images together

  4. Upload multiple photos at a time from your computer or phone

  5. Web images and concert shots appear for only a brief time, we found photographers happily allow us to save a copy in Flickr when we credit them and give their social media and site details!

  6. You can add tags to images easily making searches effective for you and your public when they are made public

  7. Name your pictures with the place/ people before uploading and those details appear in the title. (The taken date appears if available in the image)

  8. You can favorite other people’s images and create an album of favorites on your account

  9. You can post to your or someone’s Facebook timeline from Flickr

  10. You can export photos in all sizes to fit most blogging, posting and other needs!
