Which anime and video game characters are photographers?

I am attending an anime convention soon, where I will be taking photos with my Canon DSLR (a large black camera). It occurred to me that I could both appear to cosplay as a photographer and a photographer at the same time, but I can not, a suitable character think. Beyond Todd from Pokemon Snap snap, I'm all out of ideas. Can you imagine a male or Japanese anime video game characters that are either photographers or in the Are usually seen with a camera?

A quick search revealed several male Anime & Manga photographer, but I doubt many of them are easily recognizable by the average anime fan. Badou Nails from Dogs (manga) - murderer, a former journalist http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=3962-Hajime Shibata of Jigoku Shoujo - former Journalist http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=4065-Jirou Tomitake of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Photographers http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=10024 * Kamon Nandaba from FLCL - former pop-culture journalist http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=629 - Kouhei Morioka from Tsukiyomi Moon Phase - Photographers http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=6256-Masaki Murakami by Guyver - freelance journalist http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=3047 * Stoner from Eureka 7 - Photographers http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=6794 Tatsumi * Saiga from Speed Grapher - War Journalist + "superpowers" http://myanimelist.net/character/2955/Tatsumi_Saiga - Wolfgang Grimmer from Monster - investigative journalist http://myanimelist.net/character.php?id=3096 [edit] Camera-sign (links expired by Yahoo 10 Link border)-from Fumiya Sugawara Hataraki Man - Paparazzi-Jun Lee of Sousei no Aquarion - "mind's eye photography" * = joined my opinion, the more recognizable / popular character with the photography (which is not much to say, if one the other "zeros" you compare it to). The list also ignores the many amateur - / photography school-club-mark, because most are very minor characters, and often "Fan service" pictures. [------------ Edit] If you are willing to cross-play or an adaptation female character, you can try:-Saeko Shirasu of FLAG - War Journalist (because her outfit screams "stereotype photographer"). http://myanimelist.net/anime/1299/FLAG Note: I think, Speed Grapher and flag are the only Both anime series that have a strong focus on photography / journalism.
