Flickr Release Notes, September 2022

In September we introduced a new kind of content category for the bulk uploading, group adminning, and search filtering needs of one of Flickr’s most active communities: Virtual photography! Read more about this and what the Flickr team worked on in this month’s release notes.

The Emotion of Landscape

Mikko Lagerstedt leaves Flickr starstruck with captivating images that make waves across the internet. For every photograph he takes, Mikko has two goals: inspire and impact individuals around the globe. He aims to make followers feel like they’re in a different world. Sadly, we’re not, but you’ve probably already come across his photos in Explore.

Eight Cats & One Photographer

Twenty-two-year-old photographer Felicity Berkleef takes meow-nificently lit portraits of domestic and street cats in their natural environment. Her series “Cats in front of the window” has accumulated tons of views on Flickr, catching the attention and interest of many pet lovers and drawing very positive feedback from other fellow photographers.

Announcing 2017’s Worldwide Flickr Photowalk

The time has come again, #FlickrFam, to band together with photographers around the world for a global photowalk. This year’s Worldwide Flickr Photowalk theme is “Monuments and Historic Places” and we’re working with our friends in the Wikimedia community in support of the Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 (WLM) photography competition in September.
