Women behind lenses
Camerawomen is the plural of camerawoman—female camera operators who shoot film, video, or television footage.
The term parallels cameramen but specifies gender: The camerawomen covering the event captured footage from multiple angles.
In professional contexts, the gender-neutral camera operator increasingly appears instead.
