Flickr is adding a new virtual photography category to support what it describes as one of its most active communities.
Flickr seems to have recognized the practice as an emerging art form and is expanding its categorization system to support it.
“When you upload content to Flickr, you need to choose where it ‘fits,’ a category that accurately describes what you’re sharing. Until now, Flickr offered three options for content categorization: photos, illustration/art, and screenshots. Today, we’re introducing a fourth category, virtual photography, because ‘screenshots’ didn’t quite meet the needs of this creative and growing community,” Flickr says.
The company explains that it finds categorization important because it helps users better navigate their experience on the site. “By putting your work into one of these categories, you can use filters to limit your search results by interest. For instance, virtual photographers will be able to filter by ‘virtual photography’ while conducting site-wide searches if they only want to see that kind of work, while avoiding real-world photography or other art and illustration,” Flickr explains., further supporting the art form.
