They can, but the photos need to be freely licensed for anyone to use. So there can be some barriers between photo copyright, PR team, etc. Celebs have released photos before, but a bit hard to scale (we're exploring how to!)

@berlination.bsky.social is amazing! We help him & other volunteer wiki photographers get credentials for cool events to take photos for wiki. This year we've done Sundance, Eurovision, MLS games, Essence Fest, and much more. And we're always expanding our network!

Wishing you the best <3 Stay well and we'd love to connect in the future!

And if someone has an event in mind that we haven't covered before, but would want to (we'd love to cover more indigenious events, for example), then some costs may be covered in those cases as well.

In some cases, yes! Many of our photographers start with covering local events, and then can get sent to the bigger events we want to cover where we need a lot of hands -- and for those, we often cover lodging (and more depending on budget).

also yes, Sundance!
