Is there a collective noun for a event where there are lots of photographers?
I.E. a sports event or a training session where one would say there was the usual ********* of photographers at today's event.

phalanx ?? has, perhaps, the right military connotation

That's perfect because of the alliteration. A phalanx of photographers.

Or we could try ****load for another "f" sound when they are all using selfie sticks or holding tablets over their heads at a concert

Could take a lead from marketing speak, how about a "Focus Group"?

...Are you proud of that?

**grog85361** · 09-13-2015, 08:55 PM

Maybe gang, mob, cluster, herd or pack??

I kind of like Dean's "Focus Group"!

I would just go the one step further and call them a "A Focus of Photographers".

Cheers,

A war of photographers - since everyone uses a different brand and think theirs is best...in a way, it is a reflection of international politics.

adwb · 09-14-2015, 06:09 AM

keep em coming try to be inventive and related to several photographers in a group or at a event of some type,

I will run a poll once we seem to have exhausted all the ideas and see what votes we get ??

perhaps a Clique, a release of photographers? Or a stop?

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a significant crop' Ansel Adams
could be paraphrased as:-
'Twelve photographers is a crop'
