Flickr’s New ‘Request to License’ Feature

Flickr has just created a new feature for photo licensing: Requests for photo use will go through a third party – Getty Images – who will handle “the details like permissions, releases and pricing.” Though it would have been neater to have a a simple message template for requests to the photographers directly, it’s nice to see the Flickroos get some more exposure (even make a buck if they’re lucky.)
