camerapersons
Those behind lenses
Camerapersons is the gender-neutral plural of cameraperson, someone who operates a camera professionally, typically for film, television, or news production.
The term emerged as an alternative to cameraman, though both remain in use.
The documentary credited three camerapersons for the footage.
