I don't think I've ever seen one without a first person camera.

What about Videogame Photography?
...Nah.

Like Photography Mechanic. Possibly Photography Game Mechanic.
Things that Amateur Photographer could be as a trope: hobby designed to flesh out character, evidence capture service similar to a witness in a crime, Chekhov's Gun of some sort involving chemicals. I've seen those, but none of them would work on the page very well.
Fight smart, not fair.

I rather like First-Person Snapshooter. Anyway, a rename has my support as well, and I'm trying to think of any examples of an amateur photographer as a character in non-game works that doesn't also fall under either Camera Fiend or Intrepid Reporter. I'm not having any luck.

First-Person Snapshooter is rather clever and still clear. I like it.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
The non-first-person examples that come to mind are some Gameboy games that included photo-ops as a tie-in with the Gameboy Printer. Well, just Links Awakening, actually...it had one of these where there were photo booths around Koholint and you could walk in to have your picture taken and collect the pictures and print them out. But that might be a sketchy one.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Tsundere pet.
I'm leaning more and more to Photography Mechanic or Photography Game Mechanic.
Calling someone a pedant is an automatic Insult Backfire. Real pedants will be flattered.

Maddy, are you counting the ones that happen in Mystery/crime series that just happen to capture the piece of evidence that solves the case?

This seems pretty open and shut, but in the interest of being by the book: It's dangerous to go alone. Take this crowner.

I think it's been long enough to declare First-Person Snapshooter the winner. It's got a pretty clear lead anyway.

That name kinda sounds like any scene where the movie takes the view of the camera instead of just the video game element about it (Like the picture on Moe.)
Little worried it will get used as that. We have a trope for that right? This would be a subtrope to that.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

The trope you're looking for is In-Universe Camera.

Did the swap. Will work on the wicks after I finish Chekhov's Lecture, unless someone wants to pitch in.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
Crown Description:
It's cute, but I don't think the trope requires a first-person camera.
