You will have somewhat less control over access to your images on Flickr, but otherwise it offers a lot of tools that could be very helpful. You would need to make the images private, and then control who has access to them, each of whom would also need a flickr account. On the plus side, flickr has some very appealing tools for tagging, making sets, and otherwise grouping images, all of which can be helpful in keeping projects separate. For those images that you decide to make public (if any) there is some neat network potential. Only public images can be viewed by people who do not have accounts on flickr.
