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.
