How it's used
Originally referring to people who enjoyed taking artistic salon style photos, the term has shifted to carry a slightly derogatory nuance. It often implies a person who obsesses over expensive camera gear and lenses while lacking genuine artistic vision or technical skill. You will frequently see them gathering in large groups to photograph models or public events, often causing congestion in popular spots.
