How to Create a New Photo Group on Flickr
Flickr is a popular web-based photo and video-sharing forum. Flickr is a place to store and organize photos from events, as well as a great place to share those photos with family and friends. One of Flickr's very useful features is the photo group feature. Photo groups allow you to pool your photos from an event or on a common theme with other similar photos on Flickr. You could create a photo group for a family event, such as a wedding, or for a specific subject matter, such as skyscrapers. Photo groups are just one of the popular organizational tools found on Flickr.

Decide whether you'd like your Flickr photo group to be public, public by invitation only or private. Anyone can join or view photos in a public group. Public by invitation only means that anyone may view the photos in the group, but only those that are invited can contribute photos to the group. Private groups are by invitation only and the photos in the group are also private.
