View it! is a suit of media search tools to show Wikimedia users (both editors and readers) Wikimedia Commons depicting - or otherwise related to- the article they are viewing. We will demonstrate how to install View it! and use it's functionality to add images across Wikimedia projects and discuss functionality and language localization.

This session discusses the role of high-quality portrait photos in enriching Wikimedia Commons and augmenting Wikipedia articles and Wikidata items. We'll cover the complexities of mass-scale portrait photography at events, including challenges such as obtaining press credentials, release/consent, and licensing. By reviewing projects such as WikiPortraits Studios in North America and Festivalsommer in Germany, we hope to enrich your understanding of open media, and how you can bring similar initiatives to your community.
