What to call someone who takes photos? like landscape photos.
After what word should I mention the name? (e.g. XXX: Micheal).
Should it be 'Author' or 'Artist' or 'Photographer'? What is the best word?

  • The person might call themselves an "artist" if they take highly abstract pictures or use photography as a "medium" for constructed art. But so long as it's ordinary photographs of people, places, things then they're a "photographer".

I'm pretty sure photographer is a perfectly acceptable term. I think anything else would be confusing.

    Wikimedia seems to be using one size fits all for text or photos. If you use anything other than photographer you run of the risk of confusion.

  • Asking the OP questions about the post should be done in a comment, not an answer.
