No algorithms shoving targeted content down your throat, no influencers hawking essential oils and watches, no trending videos or stories to boost DAU metrics, and for Pro members, NO ADS - just the talented, weird, serious, imaginative, beginner or veteran photographers and groups that you choose to follow. If you're looking for a place where the features, users, and community, are focused on photography (not influencing and marketing), Flickr is that place. I've been a Flickr user since 2006 and a Pro member for almost as long, and I'll be a Pro member for as long as Flickr supports this community! While I'm also an avid user of Instagram, the difference in purpose and focus between Instagram and Flickr is so clear.

Enjoy the highlights from 2020’s top 25 and explore the top photos of the decade for a delightful throwback journey.The last great platform for specifically photographersįlickr is the last real platform for the photography community (and for other creators). Thank you for sharing your images with the world and inspiring us all to take great pictures no matter how broad or narrow our interests. We take pride in being a global community united by our shared passion for photography. We also want to take this opportunity to celebrate the geographical diversity of our top photographers, representing 13 different countries. And while many of the photos that made it to the list come from DSLR and mirrorless cameras, one of the top images this year is an aerial view captured with a drone camera. Landscape and wildlife photography continue to be two of the most appreciated genres in our community, but we also saw some outstanding portraits, candid street shots, and nightscape composites. With that in mind, we’re excited to continue our tradition of showcasing 25 photos from around the world that our community loved the most.įrom the many photos shared on Flickr this year, we chose to highlight a selection of images that received the most engagement in the form of views, comments, and faves, while accounting for a diverse range of topics. In 2020, photography gave us a welcome escape from the stresses of daily life and a chance to document the strange, pandemic-stricken world we all found ourselves in.
