Photographer anime characters are a rare and distinct breed. While the fandom might possess vast knowledge on several topics related to anime/manga, only a few will be able to provide on anime characters who are photographers.
Photography in anime is depicted quite close to real life, from what a photographer himself/herself would feel when behind the lens. It allows them to express themselves in an artistic and unrestrained manner. What cannot be put into words can be showcased in a single shot or array of shots.
It also likely helps them find solace in their work, away from the hustle and bustle of the world. To delve into that very feeling and topic, this article features a list of photographer anime characters.
