Agreed -- excellent work, Laura and Bidgee!
On case studies -- one person who has self-documented extensively on gaining access to public figures for photos is David Shankbone. But he's blogged about tons of things, so it will take a little work to dig through and find the best reflective posts on that subject.
Here's a 2009 article about his work: http://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php?page=all
His blog is at http://shankbone.org
It would be awesome to explore the kinds of techniques various people have used to get this kind of access! A good project for the GLAM portal or other outreach pages.

Great photos Laura! It's super cool that Bigbee is volunteeering their time and skill to help out with the project.
Even cooler that the water polo folks gave you guys such great access. It'd be cool to see some case studies developed on "gaining access" to subjects.

I noticed a problem with the first image page I clicked on. Maybe others have the same problem.

Fixed. I think all of them have been fixed anyway. Not sure about the descriptions and if they really should have more as it might be nice to try to take one or two to featured pictured: The people: sports category lacks women. :( I've mentioned it in signpost suggestions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestio... would be awesome to get a mention. :)
Bidgee upload the pictures of the Brits. These are pretty awesome too. :D

I think the pictures do a good job at showing frustration at a losing game. I really need to learn to use Wikinews to write more about this stuff. Would be great to see more women's topics and Australian topics covered on the project, and more people to get accredited as reporters. :)
