Key figures
- Colorado Photographer-coded donors account for $614,114, 1,164 contributions, and 50 donors.
- The national Photographer total is $14,417,201 from 1,809 donors and 64,876 contributions—about 4.3% of those dollars are in this Colorado join.
- PHOTOGRAPHER is a filer-entered string, not an employment-type code.

Photographer crossed with Colorado
FEC itemized individual rows carry occupation and donor state. This tie keeps PHOTOGRAPHER and CO. The match is $614,114, 1,164 contributions, and 50 donors. The occupation nationwide is $14,417,201, 64,876 contributions, and 1,809 donors. Colorado holds about 4.3% of Photographer-coded dollars, about 1.8% of Photographer-coded contribution rows, and about 2.8% of Photographer-coded donors.
Dollar share outruns row share. Colorado’s Photographer join is a small slice of a large national creative-label bucket, thicker in dollars than in line volume. The national Photographer hub still mixes every state. The Colorado hub still mixes every occupation, including Geologist, Secretary, and Sales Manager joins that share only the state column.
Fifty Colorado donors and 1,164 contribution rows produced $614,114 under PHOTOGRAPHER. The occupation side is $14,417,201, 64,876 contributions, and 1,809 donors. About 4.3% of dollars from about 1.8% of rows is a money-ahead-of-lines cut of a large creative-label occupation. PHOTOGRAPHER is not ARTIST. Subtracting $614,114 from $14,417,201 leaves other states’ Photographer-coded receipts without listing those states on this page.
The national Photographer occupation
PHOTOGRAPHER is the typed string. PHOTOGRAPHY, FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER, and ARTIST are other buckets. The national totals—$14,417,201 from 1,809 donors and 64,876 contributions—show a high-row occupation: tens of thousands of itemized lines across fewer than two thousand identities.
Nothing in the occupation field confirms self-employment, news work, or commercial work. The labeled receipts are the dataset. This page adds only the Colorado donor-state filter.
Fifty Colorado photographers on the contributor file
Fifty Colorado donors produced 1,164 contributions totaling $614,114. Other Colorado occupations are excluded. Photographer receipts from other states fill the gap to $14,417,201.
CO is the contributor state. It does not prove the work was shot in Colorado or that Colorado federal candidates received the $614,114. Recipient committee state is not this join’s filter.
Colorado’s 50 Photographer-coded donors and 1,164 contributions sit inside 1,809 national donors and 64,876 national contributions. The $614,114 is that pair only.
A small state slice of the $14,417,201 label
About 4.3% of Photographer dollars and about 2.8% of Photographer donors sit in Colorado. More than 95% of the occupation’s dollars remain outside this page. That remainder is not ranked here; it is simply the rest of $14,417,201 after subtracting $614,114.
Colorado’s other occupation-state pages do not belong in that subtraction. They use different occupation strings. Only PHOTOGRAPHER plus CO produced these facts.
Fifty donors inside 1,809, and the rest of the label
Colorado’s 50 Photographer-coded donors are about 2.8% of 1,809 nationally. Their 1,164 contributions are about 1.8% of 64,876. Their $614,114 is about 4.3% of $14,417,201. Dollar share leads row share: Colorado’s slice is thicker in money than in line volume compared with the national Photographer mix. That is a join statistic, not a statement about Colorado’s art market.
PHOTOGRAPHER is not FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHER, PHOTOGRAPHY, or ARTIST. Those strings, when filed, live elsewhere. The 64,876 national contribution rows already show a high-frequency occupation. Colorado’s 1,164 rows are a small piece of that frequency. Subtracting $614,114 from $14,417,201 leaves the other states’ Photographer-coded receipts; this page does not list those states.
Secretary, Geologist, and Sales Manager joins that also use Colorado share only the state column. Their occupation totals are different numbers. Combining them with $614,114 would invent a Colorado creative-and-professional super-total. The Photographer occupation hub, Colorado campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties keep the dimensions separate.
Limits of the creative-title join
This page does not treat photography as a political bloc, and it does not rank Colorado’s creative economy. Two columns matched. Correlation is not causation.
Unitemized contributions and independent expenditures are omitted. See Photographer donations, Colorado campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.
