nonphotographers

Nonphotographers are individuals who do not engage in photography as a primary activity or profession. This group encompasses a wide range of people, from casual hobbyists to those who have never picked up a camera. Nonphotographers can be found in various settings, including social gatherings, workplaces, and public spaces. They may use photography as a tool for personal documentation, such as capturing family events or travel memories, but their primary focus is not on the technical aspects of photography. Nonphotographers often rely on the work of professional photographers for their visual needs, whether it's for personal projects, commercial purposes, or media consumption. Their relationship with photography is typically casual and not deeply technical, making them an important part of the broader photographic community.
