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:

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

would be awesome to get a mention. :)
Bidgee upload the pictures of the Brits. These are pretty awesome too.

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. :)
