Uniting the SmugMug and Flickr brands will make the whole photography community stronger and better connected. I put in a request to speak to CEO of SmugMug Dan MacAskill, but as you can appreciate, for someone who has just overseen one of the biggest data transfers since Cambridge Analytica logged on to Facebook, he is quite busy – he did release this statement though: ‘Since day one our passion has been empowering photographers to tell the stories they want to tell, the way they want to tell them, and our investment in Flickr reaffirms this commitment. Many now see it as an asset they don’t want to give up for free. Consumers have become better informed about the use of their data. However, Facebook and Instagram have their flaws.
