Time for a quick recap of what we’ve been up to over the last month at Flickr. There are so many things in the works so ICYMI, get caught up here!
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.
Light ninja Eric Paré, a Montreal-based commercial photographer, is building a community of light painters on the back of his inspiring work. The innovative group of photographers has followed his lead and drawn inspiration from barren landscapes, artistic models, and $2 plastic tubes.
Our new Flickr Heroes of the Week are ‘France 2017 – Planète Sauvage – Port Saint Père‘ by Philippe Béènne on Twitter & Tumblr and ‘Västerås Summer Meet 2017‘ by Henrik Lindberg on Facebook & Google+. Congratulations to the top photos this week!
Salah Baazizi is a 46-year-old software engineer and bird photographer based in Orange County, California. He began focusing on nature and wildlife photography a decade ago, after a visit to the Bolsa Chica wetlands.
23-year-old photographer Tina Sosna has an extraordinary eye for beauty. She takes soft, atmospheric portraits that celebrate the charm in everyday life. Originally from Thuringia, in central Germany, Tina lives in the university city of Jena with her boyfriend and her red-furred cat, Willow.
