WikiPortraits is a team of volunteer photographers dedicated to improving the quality of celebrity images on Wikipedia, which often suffer from being outdated or unflattering due to strict licensing requirements. By attending major events like the Sundance Film Festival and Cannes, they provide high-quality portraits that are freely licensed for use. Since its inception, WikiPortraits has grown to over 30 photographers and has captured nearly 5,000 portraits that have received millions of views and media attention, benefiting both celebrities and Wikipedia.
"High-quality portraits rarely make it onto Wikipedia due to the requirement for images to be freely available for public use, often resulting in outdated or unflattering photos."
"WikiPortraits is changing the game by sending volunteer photographers to major events to provide high-quality images for Wikipedia, enhancing celebrities' online representation."
