WikiPortraits is a network of 150+ photographers from 40+ countries covering all sorts of events, from film festivals and conferences to sports and award shows. Our photos are shared to the Wikimedia Commons under a free license, where they can be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles read by millions of people.

We meet photographers where they are, whether they are an amateur with a new camera or a seasoned professional. As a member you can request to cover events, suggest events we should cover, and coordinate with other photographers.

Please tell us about yourself below. We read every application and will reply by email once we have reviewed yours.
