camerawoman
She films scenes
A camerawoman is a woman who operates a camera professionally, especially for film, television, or news production.
The term parallels cameraman but specifies female gender: She worked as a camerawoman for the local news station.
The gender-neutral cameraperson or camera operator are increasingly preferred in professional contexts.
