I was just just wondering if their is a collective noun for a group of photographers.

Your suggestions please. Anything goes and maybe specific for landscape or still life or portrait etc photographers.
 
I do not know. As photographers typically work on themselves there likely is no such noun.

I propose "photo-collective".
 
In the humorous sense of words of venery I propose a "click" of photographers. This also plays on a reference to the French word clique meaning an exclusive group.
 
Gerald, hadn't you referred to that pun I wouldn't have seen it (slow on the uptake).
But now I like it!

a COC or circle of confusion is a group of photographers sitting around and discussing depth of field DOF:laugh:

So a COC would be a group of male photographers then? :wink:

Of course if we consider a collective noun for photographers who frequent fora and other internet presences we could adopt the old AGFA name of "CLACK"...

:D

"Oh, look at that huge COC"... or, "Hey, look at that little COC". Nah... doesn't sound quite right to me. If that becomes the norm, I'll never 'hang' with other photographers.

I think it would be a venery of fine art nude photographers.

A GAS of photographers.
 
i would vote for "scrum," with all the horrors that are rugby-related thereto, at least if referring to a bunch of news photographers each trying to win a pulitzer.

Ever been in the middle of one of those things? I have. It's ugly.
