Has anyone tried using these in outreach to
photographers?
The professional photographers that WMIT is in contact with have little
interest for such activities, presumably because they don't see a
benefit for their career.
As for the Wikimedia Commons photographers, wiki[pm]edians usually
respond well to such calls to action, although I don't usually see
floods of photos coming. On the Italian Wikipedia, maps like
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wiki-needs-pictures/ recently raised some
attention from the community.
