Honestly leave the shitty pictures.

These celebrities are always put in the perfect lighting, with makeup and photoshop to maximize their public image.

It’s shallow bullshit built to make you worship and buy shit from these shills.

Let them look ugly.

They could also pay for good pictures to be released to the public domain themselves.

But if someone wants to spend their time to do this uncompensated, they aren't doing any harm.

I’m assuming they needed to have the rights to an image or find it in the commons. This would severely limit their options.

They're going to events and taking nice pictures and releasing them to the public domain.

The other day I was sad to see that Astrid Gilberto, who I find to be quite pretty, has a kinda unflattering main photo on Wikipedia

All of the well done shots are copyrighted.
