Late last week, Flickr rolled out a change that widens the reach of it’s collaboration with Getty Images and allows anyone on Flickr to offer their photos for sale via the Getty program. Previously, the Flickr+Getty partnership was essentially invitation-only, where selected photographers would be invited to have selected photos represented by Getty. Now, photographers [...]

Last night Flickr announced direct sharing integration with Facebook. Sounds great, but as part of Yahoo’s attempt to stay relevant in the social space, it’s integrated with something called either Yahoo Updates or Yahoo Pulse (I can’t figure out if they’re the same thing or not) that adds one more layer of complexity to the [...]

When you first heard about Twitter, you probably wondered why the heck anyone would care about the answer to “What are you doing right now?” If you’ve used Twitter and developed some relationships, you probably realized that the connections go way beyond folks sharing what they’re having for lunch.

If you photograph businesses, company events, retail openings, parties, or the like, are you keeping those photos under lock and key or are you encouraging your clients to share? Hopefully you’re encouraging some sharing. If you don’t allow (and even encourage) folks to share your work, you’re probably going to be replaced by a photographer [...]

Do You “Like” the Articles on Social Photo Talk?

One of the big announcements from Facebook last week was a universal “Like” button across the web, allowing Facebook users to easily note content they find interesting and share that content with their friends. Since I hope you find at least some of the content here interesting, I’ve added a Facebook Like button that will [...]

Are You a Photographer Going to SXSW?

In about a month, the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival will take over Austin, Texas with events focused on Film, Music, and Interactive topics. I’ll be headed down there for the Interactive portion of the event, and it would be great to get together with other photographers who are in town. I know Trey Ratcliff [...]

Thumbnail image for A Social Photo Workflow: Posting Photos from the 30 Hour Day

Last weekend I had the honor of being the primary photographer for 30 Hour Day, a first-of-its-kind charity telethon held entirely online as opposed to traditional broadcast media. I was in the studio taking photos as well as processing and uploading selected photos to Flickr. Clients love quick turnaround, and by putting the photos online [...]
