cameraman

A cameraman is someone who operates and controls cameras during filming or recording.

When we think about movies or TV shows, we often imagine directors and actors on set. But behind the scenes, a crucial person is making sure the camera captures all the right shots: the cameraman. They're usually the ones who physically handle the camera, adjusting zooms and angles to get the perfect shot. Sometimes, a single person will do this job, but other times there might be multiple people working together as a team – in which case they could be called the camera crew or cinematography team.
