I used to upload my photos to Flickr but it just kept getting worse and worse so I stopped.

What's the new Flickr?

Flickr is still the best. I was shooting people photos which were doing well but I recently swapped to landscapes and it’s grim, I’ll keep doing it because I like doing it but I’ve already accepted not many people will care or be looking at them.

There isn’t one. There will never be another site for photography that is as cool as Flickr once was, because photography isn’t cool anymore and hasn’t been for over 10 years. Smart phone photography took over for normies and then the further transition from phone photos to phone video. So actual photography as a normie hobby is at least two revolutions behind being popular. It’s gone back to the gearfags the way CB radio went back to truck drivers after a brief fling as a mainstream fad in the 1980s, and how 4chan went back to the neets and incels after a brief period of being a mainstream news item in the “project chanology” era. Not even trolling the country into electing 4chans pick of president in 2016 could make this place relevant again as it was in like 2008. Nobody in here now but us robots. Flickr is the same.

Flickr is still fine. News companies still trawl it to find photos of current events. It can still be used to show off your portfolio.
Its just a shame that it hasnt been improved in any meaningful way for decades. Its basically still a 2010 website. There are so many little tweaks they could do to make it much more versatile and popular - but instead it was just bought up and allowed to dry out.

there's no such thing. no one cares about photography, it's too commonplace. Even most photographers don't care about photos. Those phototubers even, they shoot to make another video, not to shoot photography.

It’s definitely bigger now at the cost of being a fashion trend, but don’t try to pretend overedited HDR landscapes at sunset with deep purple skies and lush green grass was ever cool

It’s big if you are a good looking girl or have an interesting life, it’s basically impossible to compete with that content if you are just a guy who brought a camera.
Made worse by video now being the main thing.

I see so many people who have put in crazy amounts of work on Flickr with a few hundred followers or less, if you absolutely succeed you get maybe 2-4K followers.

Alternatively if you spend about 100k on nude models doing spreadleg shots you can get to 20-50k followers but you will have to be rich to afford the amount of models required.

If you are just happy doing your thing Flickr is still great, you can still build a nice body of work there more so than anywhere else.

The decent ones (Free edition)

> Behance
pretty good if you got other projects too

> 500px
a shitty back up, but at least it's something

> Wordpress
It works if you are ok with manually optimizing you images to websites.

> DevianArt
Allows you to upload the original file, so that's a plus if you can ignore the meme surrounding the site

Over to the bad ones
> YouPic
I hate it, only one upload per day.

> Imgur
Got banned, for no reason, maybe because I posted on the community my portfolio and they seethed at the fact my stuff is good compared to their 2010 midwit memes.

>>4282754
See photography as a way fancy way to document things. If you really care about that stuff for under €100 if you want to look like an "influencer".

OP here. I'm not trying to make a professional portfolio or anything like that. I just want to display my pictures in an appealing, organised way without getting duped into some expensive subscription situation.

Behance would probably be my choice then (still keep Flickr). But with anything nowadays, anything can be rugpulled at any moment. Have organized local folders that you can just dump on a new site when shit happens.

What do you mean Flickr kept getting worse and worse, do you mean lower and lower engagement. The whole thing with Flickr is it has literally not changed a single thing in like 10 years.

Try Tumblr. Better image quality and res than IG, still pumps big numbers and there's a growing community of original photographers there now.

I meant the interface got worse, free accounts were threatened with limits and Pro got more expensive. I'm talking about years ago.

Search tags. Unlike IG, the tags work. But you only get 5 of them that feed into the algo. Follow and like the people using that tag and you'll get a nice curated photography feed very quick. Some great stuff on there and the image quality is much higher and you can post any crop ratio you wish.

Honestly landscapes are the most difficult category to stand out in. Even people who aren't into photography have been exposed to really great landscape shots. I also think a problem with traditional landscapes is that it's difficult to illicit an emotion other than 'that's beautiful'. I've seen people's work who make their living off landscape photography and I struggle recall a single photo. All landscapes start to blur together for me.

i've been on tumblr for a few months. it's pretty easy to get a good feed going and you can format your page in pretty much any way. unfortunately i believe the site search function is login-walled so random people outside of tumblr will never find you, but the blog pages themselves are not login-walled they way they are on other platforms last i checked. so you can at least link outsiders to it

I was going to create a thread but it accused of duplicate file so I'll just post here.

Is this still viable as a way to connect photographers? I just want to share stuff online in a more formal way. I have been on and off instagram since 2020 and it has become much worse than it ever was. You used to be able create a little island and stay there with the people on your circle but now the algorythm forces ads and 'content' at every instant, there is very little interaction and sharing going on outside of big pages. I don't want to be an influencer, I just want to share stuff

i'm a photo normie, designer by occupation - Behance is great for photos, I have like ~15% of recommendations with photos, also I do like to find some obscure or interesting styles of photos, maybe for some future cooperation or reference as an art-director

99% of what i use flickr for is temporary private albums to send batches of photos to people. that's the only feature i care about.

the rest is just a semi-obscure shrine to my dogs and remote backups of photos only i have copies of
