About Chris Cameron

Chris Cameron’s photography has always centered on the strengths of human spirit. His early studies of the sociology of mass media are evident in the subjects he chooses and the respect and research that goes into his work. An early career in educational media production and then newspaper reportage has led to an ongoing world project on faith. Living and working on four continents has built a belief in and an ability to further the universal language of photography.

Cameron’s formal educational experiences are eclipsed by his mentorship and friendship with the great photographer and designer Tom Abrahamsson, inventor of the Rapidwinder for Leicas . Many thanks.

Cameron also teaches at several centres in Vancouver. His work has appeared in all Vancouver area newspapers, The Globe and Mail and The New York Times, all 28 years of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Tourism Vancouver, and various trade magazines.
