What is Agee in Photography and Film?

Agee (pronounced "AH-gee") is a term used in the context of photography and filmmaking to describe a person who is present in a scene but not directly involved in the action or activity being captured. The term is often used to refer to someone who is simply observing or watching the scene unfold, rather than being an active participant.

For example, if you are taking a photo of a group of people playing a game, one person might be actively playing the game while the others are ageeing, meaning they are watching and enjoying the activity but not directly involved.

The term "agee" is thought to have originated from the Irish word "agé," which means "a bystander" or "a spectator." It has since been adopted in photography and filmmaking circles as a way to describe someone who is not directly participating in an activity but is still present and observing.
