Realistic (read candid/unplanned) photographs are best. I would hate to see Wiki portraits replaced with the front covers of Time and Vogue.

I've always wondered: Do celebrities and public figures (or at least their agents) not have any intrinsic motivation to maybe provide better photos themselves?

I love that this is a project. Heck, I’d sign up myself for the Boston/New England beat if I had more confidence in my portraiture skills. Never really considered the only thing holding back better portraits on Wikipedia was the need for a photographer willing to sacrifice the revenue on one shot for a greater cause.

Anybody else remember “celebrities” going legal against IMDB for listing their year of birth? Just remember this is a vanity project, not a drive to enhance documentation accuracy.

Amazing that anyone is willing to make an effort and subscribe to some random media portal with 80% content generated by chat GPT and alikes, just to read an article about replacing photo of the man, whose girlfriend has the same age since 30 years, with a different photo of the same guy.
