Getty Images and Flickr have united to pay tribute to the passion of photography. Getty Images’ gallery has opened its doors to host an exhibition of photographs licensed through the picture agency’s Flickr collection.

With over 800,000 user accounts, Flickr is one of the largest photo sharing networks bringing together communities of photographers from around the globe. In this exhibition Getty Images wants ‘to show the diversity and range of quality photography on offer at Flickr, showing a range of subjects from family to fantasy’ Tom Hind of Getty Images told Alex Christofides.

Although this is in part directed to commercial clients and aimed to maximise marketing potential, the exhibition also offers photographers a platform to exhibit their work. ‘It’s good for building contacts and you don’t know where the work could lead’ says photographer and contributor Daniel Lee.

The exhibition will continue at Getty Images Gallery, London.

Evra vents fury at Domenech

France captain Patrice Evra claims that coach Raymond Domenech dropped him from the squad for "no valid reason'' and denied him the chance to apologise to the French public by reading out the players' statement himself.
