videographer
Shoots moving pictures
A videographer is someone who records video, especially professionally.
The term emerged alongside affordable video equipment, distinguishing video work from traditional cinematography.
A videographer might shoot weddings, corporate events, or documentaries: We hired a videographer to film the ceremony.
The work spans everything from handheld event coverage to polished promotional content.
