On FEC.gov, the employer/industry grouping Photographer and the 2008 election cycle join at $480,803. 110 donors and 413 itemized individual contributions produced that total. The same grouping’s stored lifetime figure is $8,131,137, so this window is about 5.9% of the book. Read the cell as a relationship between a stored string and a two-year tag, not as a photographers PAC, a guild census, or an arts NAICS total.
Key figures
- Photographer × 2008 equals $480,803 in itemized individual contributions.
- 110 donors and 413 receipts are the volume fields.
- 5.9% of $8,131,137 falls in 2008; $7,650,334 is other years.
- PHOTOGRAPHER is exact-match occupation string, not a photographers PAC, a guild census, or an arts NAICS total.
- Quote both dimensions; do not mix in USAspending.
Photographer money that is tagged 2008
$480,803 requires both filters. Photographer alone is the $8,131,137 hub. 2008 alone is every other stored label in that window. The intersection is 413 receipts and 110 donors. Independent expenditures and committee transfers are other FEC tables and are not folded in. The total is not a corporate treasury gift.
PHOTOGRAPHER is the stored title. Studio names and PHOTOGRAPHY as an employer word sit in other keys. The stored string is PHOTOGRAPHER. PHOTOGRAPHY, PHOTO, FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER, and named studios stay outside this total. Exact-match grouping is mechanical. It is not a judgment about which label is “correct.” Named donors are not invented on this page; 110 is an identity count from the packet.
Use Photographer 2008 for the overlay, Photographer for the grouping, 2008 election cycle for the year, and All FEC ties for other joins. Those four links are the map. This prose does not replace the overlay.
Share of the Photographer lifetime grouping
5.9% of $8,131,137 is $480,803. The other 94.1% is $7,650,334 in other cycles. Because this packet does not list those other cycle dollars one by one, they are cited only as a remainder. Open the Photographer hub to drop the year filter. Treating 2008 as the entire Photographer FEC story would ignore $7,650,334.
A 5.9% cell can be larger or smaller than other even-year windows on the same hub. Without those other amounts in the packet, no year-over-year percent is stated. The lifetime total is a denominator, not a business valuation. Neighboring spellings are not added into $8,131,137 or $480,803.

Questions
- How much did Photographer donors contribute in 2008?
- $480,803 in itemized individual contributions, from 413 receipts and 110 donors, for the stored grouping PHOTOGRAPHER in the 2008 cycle. That is the two-key join, not the $8,131,137 all-cycle figure. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Cite FEC.gov. PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008 is $480,803 on 413 itemized receipts from 110 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $8,131,137.
- Is the Photographer 2008 total a PAC figure?
- No. $480,803 is itemized individual Schedule A activity grouped to PHOTOGRAPHER. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. 413 contributions and 110 donors describe the individual-receipt cell only, not a committee total. Cite FEC.gov. PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008 is $480,803 on 413 itemized receipts from 110 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $8,131,137.
- Why not treat $8,131,137 as the 2008 number?
- $8,131,137 includes every cycle for this string. 2008 is $480,803, about 5.9%. The remaining $7,650,334 belongs on the Photographer hub under other years. This page exists so those filters stay separate and the join is not restated as a hub.
- Do these Photographer gifts appear in USAspending?
- Not as a fact in this packet. FEC contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets under different reporting rules. $480,803 is not an obligation total and does not fund federal awards here. Keep the join on Schedule A only. Cite FEC.gov. PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008 is $480,803 on 413 itemized receipts from 110 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $8,131,137.
