One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
The general version — safe when you know they shoot but not what they shoot.
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a photography will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
One design for this job so far. Check the wording matches the title they actually use before buying.
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Photographers identify by what they shoot, not by the camera. The general word is what you use when you do not know their discipline.
Editing is where the hours go, and clients rarely picture that half of the job.
"You must have a good camera" is the standing insult, delivered with no malice at all.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Physicist, Plastic Surgery Nurse and Plumber each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
