Bio

 

Cam Crosland is a self-taught photographer based near London, England. Originally a Modern History & Political Science graduate and musician working as a software tester, Cam became hooked on Street Photography in 2010 and is in it for the long haul.

Cam is inspired by whatever experiences life brings, whether joy and beauty, or vulnerability, pain, loss and the struggle to survive. They seek to capture the intensity and complexity of their individual experience, and the powerful emotions which are central to it. This takes the form of several concurrent streams of work, which exist alongside their street photography. Much of the work explores the contrasting and reconciling of opposites: looking inward versus looking outward, distance and dissociation versus closeness and connection, colour versus black and white.

Cam is a member of international collective Full Frontal Flash.

Cam’s work has been described as exploratory, introspective, poetic and powerful.
