Flickr or ISO100 for presenting your photography?
Flickr is a long-running home for photo management, sharing, and community. ISO100 gives a tighter edit its own portfolio and gallery structure.
Flickr is built for managing and sharing photographs with other people. Photostreams, albums, groups, comments, and discovery give images a social and archival context that many photographers value.
A curated portfolio serves a different viewing moment. It presents a selected body of work in a deliberate order, with navigation and context supporting that edit. ISO100 is designed for this quieter public experience.
Flickr gives photographs a community and a long-term home.
Flickr's public and private sharing options support personal collections, communities, and large bodies of work. Albums and photo information help photographers organize and revisit their archives.
Groups, comments, and discovery also make Flickr useful when conversation with other photographers is part of the reason for publishing.
ISO100 is edited for the viewer you invite.
The portfolio homepage and gallery pages are arranged by the photographer rather than by a photostream or community feed. A visitor can move through the selected work, read the intended details, and use the contact route without entering a wider network.
Flickr can remain the broader archive or community presence while ISO100 holds the concise portfolio you send for a review, application, exhibition, or introduction.

Common questions.
Is Flickr a photography portfolio website?
Flickr provides public profiles, photostreams, albums, and galleries, but these remain part of its photo-sharing and community platform.
Can Flickr and ISO100 be used together?
Yes. Flickr can hold a wider archive and community presence, while ISO100 presents a shorter, deliberately sequenced portfolio.
What should move from Flickr into a portfolio?
