What it means for you
The eye that Wikipedia chooses will photograph you too
When the world's largest encyclopedia chooses a picture, it does not choose a name; it chooses quality. The same eye, the same standard and the same precision that put a picture into a Wikipedia article will stand behind your picture too, whether it is a profile picture for a website, a picture for the press or a headshot for the office.
