Spectroscopy is the preferred way to study the physical and wind properties of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, but with decreasing brightness and increasing distance of the object spectroscopy become very expensive. However, photometry still delivers a high signal to noise ratio. Current and past astronomical surveys and space missions provide large data sets, that can be harvested to discover new WR stars and study them over a wide metallicity range with the help of state of the art stellar atmosphere and evolutionary models.
