Share

With millions of users, and hundreds of millions of photos and videos, Flickr is an amazing photographic community, with sharing at its heart.

Groups are a way for people to come together around a common interest, be it a love of small dogs, a passion for food, a recent wedding, or an interest in exploring photographic techniques. And if you can’t find a group which interests you, it’s super-easy to start your own.

Groups can either be public, public (invite only), or completely private. Every group has a pool for sharing photos and videos and a discussion board for talking.

Privacy is a common area for concern on the web, but on Flickr it’s easy to control who you share your images with. For each of your photos and videos on Flickr you can set:

• privacy level, which determines who can see your image
• usage license, so your copyrights are protected
• content type, flag your photos and videos as either photos and videos, artwork/illustrations, or screenshots
• safety level, so other members only see images within their specified comfort zones
