Freedom of expression does not truly exist if the right can be exercised only in an area that a benevolent government has provided as a safe haven for crackpots. - Abe Fortas 393 U.S.503 (1969)

Tony The Tiger interpretation: Freedom of expression does not exist unless freedom of expression is protected when and where the audience exists.

You asked about more free images, such as from a video, and I wrote I couldn't find any besides those two. Well, I think now I have found a freely licensed video that we could theoretically get a screenshot or two from. https://vimeo.com/60986874 It's the video of her GQ Turkey photoshoot. It's marked Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 under the "more" link under the video. I believe the license because the uploader is apparently Eric Longden, professional filmmaker, who videod the thing for GQ, it's convincing because he has over a hundred similar professional Vimeo videos, a website linking to the Vimeo account, GQ on his resume, etc. (This is in contrast to the other so licensed Ratajkowski video on Vimeo, which was uploaded by someone without any explanation as to why he can so license it; I don't believe that license, and don't recommend any screenshots from there.) If you want, you can indicate the times where you think the most suitable frames are, as you did for that YouTube video, and I can grab the screenshots, or you can do it yourself. Preferably the ones with ... more clothes, shall we say? Maybe one where she is standing next to Tony Kelly, if you think he's important to her career, then a picture of them both together might be nice. Your call.
On a completely unrelated note, I made the terrible mistake (terrible for the sake of my ego, that is) of coming to your user pages, and then looking up your name in the real world. I am now officially intimidated. You have written 30 featured articles, and you're a photographer, and a project director, and can apparently bench-press a Buick? Where in God's name do you find the time?!? Please let me know when you either win the Nobel Prize or run for the Presidency, so I can say "I once worked on an article review with him"... --GRuban (talk) 14:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
OK, you wrote you only edit Tuesday through Thursday and Thursday has passed, so you're not going to respond, so I did it myself. Here are 3 images I got from there, that show her actually doing her job, which I think is valuable. I put the first two in the article. Feel free to rearrange, change captions, choose different ones, etc., with due consideration. --GRuban (talk) 16:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
American model Emily Ratajkowski prepares for a photo and cover shoot for GQ Türkiye men's magazine. Her stylist is Mitch Stone.
Irish photographer Tony Kelly and American model Emily Ratajkowski examine photographs for a photo and cover shoot for GQ Türkiye men's magazine.
It seems you don't actually respond to messages on your user talk page; but do edit on this Friday at least. I'll stick by what I wrote, which is that I will let you put the images as you see fit, but:
regarding my editing on Friday. The uber day runs from 4AM to 4AM. Although I took a 2+ hour break in the middle of the day. I was online for 17 hours and 45 minutes otherwise. So I probably was due for a 2+ hour break. That was very different from tues-Thurs where I checked my watchlist at least a half dozen times (I ignore most of the talk pages on my watchlist nowadays though).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:18, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I did see them as being more representative of her work in general, not of her GQ Turkiye photo shoot specifically. I'm sure she has her hair done for all professional shoots, and I can imagine she looks over the photos on most. Neither of those two photos was particularly distinctive as being from her Turkiye shoot so to speak. So I don't think putting them together in a box labeled 2013 GQ Turkiye photo shoot is the best, that's why I sprinkled them throughout the career section, as to say "this is what she does in her career". The third one is fairly identifiable as a scene from that shoot, but you didn't use that one.
I am going to put in a 13 hour day today after my lunch settles and I get a few quick household chores done. Can we revisit this once you get us some other caps of the typical Emrata stuff. I think the eye liner, and lip liner vid caps may be even better. I think in a few years as we get more photos, images are going to be stuck in chronologically along with the prose. That is generally how it works.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I will, however, object to the grammar of the bottom caption: "(top) Tony Kelly and Ratajkowski examine photographs and (bottom) Ratajkowski's during hair styling" should be something like: "(top) Tony Kelly and Ratajkowski examine photographs (bottom) Ratajkowski's hair being styled" as it's not clear what the "'s" refers to otherwise, and I don't think the "and" is needed.
Feel free to edit the WP:CAPTION. Also, look on the file description pages. I have spread those images around WP.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Finally, if you must stick them together, I recommend putting the hair styling one on top, as I'm pretty sure she got her hair styled before the photos were made, not after. But that's another image placement thing that I will grit my teeth and bear if I must. --GRuban (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
I think we should go with one hair, one makeup, and one photoshoot image. Let's see how the vid caps and/or videos go with the suggestions below.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:36, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
On a separate matter - you, unlike me, are a real photographer! May I ask photo advice? Your opinion - should the first image, the hair styling one, be cropped tighter horizontally to remove the people in the background to one side and the bright light to the other? I tried it and thought it looked better as is, but will value your view. Also, anything you can recommend to get rid of the bright light in the middle of the second image? I tried smearing it, but wasn't able to do a good job, so left it; anything you can do? --GRuban (talk) 20:22, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
No one who is a real photographer considers me to be a photographer. Ask around at WP:FPC. I am not a photographer. Did you get the optimal frame for avoiding the big light? Don't crop the hair styling image to the point that any of her body is eliminated from the photo. However, I try to crop to either 3:2 or 4:3 proportions. I almost always go with 3:2. Look at how 2015 McDonald's All-American Boys Game looks and imagine if I cropped to random proportions. Try to do all the images in the same proportions. We may want to put the images side by side in a horizontal T:MI layout.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:42, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
GRuban I have gotten out of the habit of rapid talk page response. The small numbers at the top don't catch my eye like the long bar across the top use to. Many elements of that video would be helpful to illustrating WP. The most important is for the photographer himself. Here are my thoughts on elements of the video that could be useful.
08 eye liner
22 Tony Kelly
32 Digital photography
33 or 36 Hair roller
49-51 cake ?
58 camera phone
1:09 lip liner
1:44 boot, kinky boots or Thigh-high boots
This is not a response to all of the questions above. I am headed to the gym in 10 minutes.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:51, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
P.S. I was a bit frustrated that WP has no article for a blow toy or whatever you call those things because we have some awesome pictures. I am also not sure why we don't have a surprise cake article.--
P.S. You may want to make short videos for the eye liner, lip liner and hair roller content.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:25, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
GRuban, I have withdrawn the nomination. We should get these images together over the next few days and figure out proper presentation. I have to figure out if I have any software that can create mini videos from the source. I think there could be as many as 4 or 5 useful ones to be made. Let me know what you think you might be able to do. My Uber day will not be so long tomorrow. I will have a couple of hours tomorrow night depending on what software I have. Do you know any free software to crop .mp4s and export their still images?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 08:03, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
GRuban, oops. I usually shoot in 3:2 with my camera. I mostly shoot individual athletes and buildings, which look good in portrait. Thus, my prior advice was germane. I don't think the majority of the images above will look good at 3:2 although 2:3 might be O.K. However, I think my point is that you should edit toward the aspect of the original file. I am going to try to make the videos in the next 48 hours and then look at some images.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:40, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
