A Complete Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr Images

A Complete Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr Images

I don't think this blog would be half of what it is without Flickr. The
images included with most posts magnetize the eye to the page and create an
atmosphere for the rest of the piece. It's also one of the most commented-on
aspects of the blog - the images are something I think leaves an impression
on a lot of people.

A question I get often is: how do you find such great images through Flickr?
Most importantly, how do you find such great images that you can use freely?

In this post, I want to share everything I've learned about how you can
quickly and easily find Flickr's best images to suit your needs, whether it's
for a blog post, an eBook, a design, an artwork or anything else. Secondly,
I want to explain how Creative Commons works for Flickr images - and what
that means for you.

The Artist's Guide to Flickr

The Artist's Guide to Flickr

Not just a site to share baby photos with your grandparents, Flickr is an
incredible tool for creative professionals. Its user-friendly sleek design
and excellent loading speed make this an attractive and effective tool for
professional use.

If you're an artist, photographer, or designer, you can utilize Flickr in a
variety of ways to present and promote your work, as well as connect with
colleagues, business partners, potential clients, and businesses. The
possibilities are endless. And you don't have to worry about the hours it
takes to upload and organize your work; Flickr makes that easy, so you can
spend that extra time in the day to create or take that Belly dancing/Tae
Kwon Do/Ballet/Rumba class you always dreamed about.

Here are 4 ways you can use Flickr to promote your work:

1. Use collections or sets for your portfolio

Flickr's organization tool allows you to batch edit each photo and organize
them into sets or collections. You can set each collection's privacy level
at your preference. Flickr allows you to offer passes to view the private
sets or collections to whomever you choose, which works great for designers
and artists who may be working on a commission or project that requires some
discretion.

2. Use Flickr and Blurb to create art books

Creatives like the talented Tommy Oshima are utilizing the Flickr/Blurb
collaboration to produce high quality, professional books from the photos
they've uploaded to Flickr. It makes it easy to produce a beautifully
designed book that you can offer to your collectors and viewers.

3. Use Flickr to create brand awareness

Uploading images that you allow others to share and reuse expands your
possible exposure. Be sure to insist they ask for permission before use, and
to credit you. Illustrator Juliana Pedemonte offers her images to download
and blog in small sizes so they can be shared, while protecting her images.
You can give permission to users to blog and download in the settings
section.

4. Share your events

You can share photos from your latest art show, designer project, or photo
session with your friends through Flickr. Give viewers a virtual tour of
your studio with Flickr Video! Let them into your world to gain a tangible
view of your work and to get to know you as the creator.

Flickr Safety Guide

Flickr Safety Guide

So, what's Flickr?

Flickr is an awesome photo and video-sharing community run by Yahoo!.
Millions of members from all over the world are uploading photos and video
that they have created, each sharing their unique view of the world. You can
post, sort, and share pics and videos that you yourself have created with
friends, family, andfolks from all over! Flickr Help can tell you more.

What are some possible risks on Flickr?

Flickr members are expected to act in ways that build a great community.
They have to follow the Flickr Community Guidelines and your country's
Yahoo! Terms of Service. (If you are logged into Flickr, this link will take
you directly to your local Terms).

But things happen. Just like in the real world, there are people who may
behave inappropriately.

Check out our do's and don'ts of what is expected from Flickr Community
members with regard to content . Be savvy when you're on Flickr and:

Protect your personal info. Remember, Flickr is for everyone to share photos
and videos, so be cautious when you post personal info, pics, and videos.

Watch out for harassment . If people can find and contact you, like through
FlickrMail ), they can possibly expose you to nasty or abusive language.
Keep your guard up, and report anything that doesn't feel right.

Flag this photo . When people join Flickr, they agree to flag their content
appropriately. If someone isn't flagging the photos they post that are
inappropriate for all ages, you could stumble across it. If this happens,
send us a heads-up by reporting the abuse.

What is Flickr?

What is Flickr?

Flickr is an online application that enables you to manage and share digital
photos and JPEG images. You can use Flickr to upload images taken with your
camera, and in the upload process, Flickr allows you to title, describe,
tag, and set security on the images.

You can share photos with the entire community of Flickr users or securely
and privately share them with the Flickr users who are your friends and
family. In return, your contacts-friends or family-can share their photos
with you and leave comments about your photos.

To share photos using Flickr, sign in to your Yahoo! account (or create one)
and create a Flickr account if you don't already have one by visiting the
Flickr homepage. If you have a Yahoo! account, you can easily set up a
Flickr account. Note that although Flickr screen names and Yahoo! account
names can be different, both names are tied to the same account.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

About Flickr

About Flickr

Flickr - almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing
application in the world - has two main goals:

1. We want to help people make their photos available to the people who
matter to them.

Maybe they want to keep a blog of moments captured on their cameraphone, or
maybe they want to show off their best pictures or video to the whole world
in a bid for web celebrity. Or maybe they want to securely and privately
share photos of their kids with their family across the country. Flickr
makes all these things possible and more!

To do this, we want to get photos and video into and out of the system in as
many ways as we can: from the web, from mobile devices, from the users' home
computers and from whatever software they are using to manage their content.
And we want to be able to push them out in as many ways as possible: on the
Flickr website, in RSS feeds, by email, by posting to outside blogs or ways
we haven't thought of yet. What else are we going to use those smart
refrigerators for?

2. We want to enable new ways of organizing photos and video.

Once you make the switch to digital, it is all too easy to get overwhelmed
with the sheer number of photos you take or videos you shoot with that itchy
trigger finger. Albums, the principal way people go about organizing things
today, are great -- until you get to 20 or 30 or 50 of them. They worked in
the days of getting rolls of film developed, but the "album" metaphor is in
desperate need of a Florida condo and full retirement.

Part of the solution is to make the process of organizing photos or videos
collaborative. In Flickr, you can give your friends, family, and other
contacts permission to organize your stuff - not just to add comments, but
also notes and tags. People like to ooh and ahh, laugh and cry, make
wisecracks when sharing photos and videos. Why not give them the ability to
do this when they look at them over the internet? And as all this info
accretes as metadata, you can find things so much easier later on, since all
this info is also searchable.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.
