Born in CA in 1973, Cameron Newell first began taking photos when her
father purchased her a 35mm camera to satisfy her plea to capture landscape
images on family road trips. Today, Cameron captures a more mature perspective
of landscapes, and finds a colorless beauty contained within them.
In 1994 Cameron studied photography at Brooks Institute of Photography
in Santa Barbara, California. Simultaneously, she obtained a degree in
Anthropology from the University of California.
After graduation, Cameron moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to
pursue her love of the camera while working at The Image Bank, one of
the world's largest photo agencies. Following her time at the Image Bank,
she worked as an assistant to Rick English, a well-known commercial photographer
located in San Francisco.
When an opportunity came to shoot her first privately held book, Cameron
moved to Missoula, Montana. There she constructed a darkroom in the basement
of a rural log cabin and spent much of her time shooting and printing.
This time in Montana allowed her the opportunity to capture images of
the Northwests National Parks, where her Protected Land Series began.
Following the completion of the project, Cameron returned to California
area where she continues to live and work as a commercial and fine art
photographer. Her passion for fine art photography is stronger than ever,
and her focus has shifted toward an alternate interpretation of landscapes.
Today Cameron's photographs are represented at the F-Stop in Chicago,
and in galleries in Carmel and Los Angeles early next year.
