Photographers Are on a Mission to Fix Wikipedia's Famously Bad Celebrity Portraits

Summary

82% Informative

Wikipedia portraits of notable people on the site are often poor quality.

Wikipedia portraits are so bad that there’s an Instagram page dedicated to them.

WikiPortraits photographers have covered 10 global festivals and award ceremonies, and taken nearly 5,000 free-licensed photos of celebrity attendees.

Not being an official news or photo agency means WikiPortraits sometimes faces problems getting media credentials to cover events.

Photographers must already own a professional-quality camera, and usually have to cover the cost of getting to events and at least part of their lodging.

Over 30 people have taken on the job, and for some of them, it’s deeply personal.
