Getty Now Sells Flickr Images

Getty Images and Flickr Logos

Getty Images and flickr.com have teamed up to launch the Flickr Collection, a sale outlet for photos on flickr via Getty. Getty says, “With the debut of this first-of-its-kind collection, customers can easily access and license the inspirational and unexpected photographs for which the Flickr community is known.”

“We are thrilled to provide our customers with this ground-breaking collection,” said Jonathan Klein, co-founder and chief executive officer of Getty Images. “We are impressed with the talent from the Flickr community, and are proud to once again lead our industry in this exciting new direction.”

Klein said flickr members who choose to participate will benefit from the global reach and distribution power of Getty Images to help market their images, as well as its unmatched expertise and experience in rights and clearances of digital media.
