I don't think engineers are precise as they deal with real physical things and they know there is always some degrees of unknown. My brother is a mathematician and he can't deal with tollerances.
I think of engineering as an applied science. Math is at the core and part of the vocabulary of both. (My degree is in Biology).

There is a very interesting and healthy tension between math and engineering. A mathematician is quite ecstatic to successfully prove that a solution to a problem exists. The engineer doesn't really care about all that. He just wants to know what the answer is.

That, and the breaking if the established rules!

The very few times I’ve seen the term “static photography” it was a misguided attempt to differentiate between still photography and video. Ironically in video there is such thing as a static shot. It just means the camera is in a fixed spot, no camera movement or zoom. There can be plenty of movement in the shot, but the camera view never changes.
As for breakfast? A frittata made with leftover shrimp which is then grilled between two flour tortillas with some cheese to make a glorious breakfast quesadilla which is topped with guacamole and some Old Bay hot sauce.

If you didn't think " static photography" related to "photography" why did you post this here without doing any research?

When I was last at CostCo, they were selling sleeves of 6-bagels 2 for 1. A well toasted Cinnamon-Raisin, cream cheese, and Raspberry Amaretto Jam made today's breakfasts menu. And coffee, black.

How would this differ from ‘still life’ photography?
I can see the obvious location and size differences between table-top still life scenes and architecture, but there is also a lot of overlap, as models of buildings (prototypes) are often photographed long before the actual building is constructed.
Are landscapes static, or do they just seem so? Clouds move and skies change patterns and colors through the day. Even a gentle breeze moves the leaves.
When I saw the title I thought this might be about Kirlian photography, which captures images of discharges of static electricity. These were popular for a while maybe 50 years ago.

Looking for Kirlian photography today on Google shows a lot of sites referencing photographing a person’s ‘aura’. It seems to have found a home with ‘NewAge’ practices.

Sixty years of carrying a camera and I have never heard the term "static photography." I can probably photograph another twenty years without knowing what it is.

Might not 5,000-15,000 volts destroy the sensor? And are full-frame sensors more resistant to static charges than APS-C of MFT sensors? And do raw files capture more of the charge than JPEGs?

I really am more drawn to Chg. Canon's reply but to give some credit to your post I feel the need to be fair and answer.
No I have never heard the term, static photography. I have heard and it is completely appropriate and enough, to say landscape photography, architectural photography and so on. Do we really need some cockamamie other name just to suit a small contingent of people?

Ah! The endless conflict between the “Lumpers” and the “Splitters”.

This discussion has been fun to watch. There really is at least one accepted use of the term "static." It applies to things that normally move, but are in a stationary environment for some reason. Examples are aircraft on static (non-flying) display at an airshow, automobiles on display at the local Sonic drive-in on Saturday afternoon, and new passenger train equipment on display for public inspection at the local depot.
These situations present interesting photographic challenges. Most are related to how to photographically represent the normally dynamic subjects in an interesting manner.
So yes...I can see a quite legitimate use for the term. It might even be extended to cover photography of children. Sitting still for a portrait is certainly not a noal depiction for a child.
