Anyone who need an online photo management and sharing application to protect, share and sell their photos
About Flickr
Today, SmugMug and Flickr help photographers of all kinds protect, share, and sell their photos. From casual smartphone shutterbugs to professional portrait artists, we provide the essential tools that photographers need to grow their skillset, their following, and their profits. 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.

"Probably still the best but going downhill..." Posted 2023-01-21
Pros: Wide international membership; significant (but declining) proportion of photographers vs. just viewers; organisation of photos into subject-interest groups, set up and controlled by members; inclusive of NSFW photos; availability of stats on viewing of your photos (but recently become unreliable); still some community spirit; generally helpful and responsive admins.
Cons: Slow and fluctuating loading of pages, especially "notifications"; shift towards it becoming a photo storage rather than exhibition / discussion site; poor layouts requiring scrolling through almost full-size images rather than quickly-loading thumbnail pages; bizarre decision to charge contributing photographers rather than "consumer" viewing members with no on-site reward for successful / popular images; resulting from this, a growing commercialisation and use by professional glamour / porn photographers to market their work elsewhere rather than by amateur enthusiasts who would be delighted with small rewards by the site to recognise their work. (I understand this shift in business model is based on advertising / marketing but it is a big negative from the site experience point of view)
Overall: Still a very engaging site once you have "met" other genuine photo photographers and appreciative viewers – though these are declining in response to changes made over the last 5 years.
