Cameron McNee

Cameron is a director and photographer whose work explores identity, belonging, and the beauty of chosen family.

He came of age in an Australian beach town, but his passion was after dark — documenting life in underground LGBTQ+ nightclubs, capturing his community of dancers and drag performers on film and tape. Inspired by Nan Goldin and Larry Clark, this early body of work earned him a place at the London College of Printing and sparked a transatlantic life between East London and the East Village.

Cameron’s storytelling consistently returns to themes of otherness, kinship, and authenticity — reflecting his own journey from outsider to finding his tribe. During the pandemic, he deepened this commitment through studies in psychotherapy and counselling, which now inform his image-making. He approaches each project with empathy, creating space for his subjects to be seen on their own terms.

Dedicated to inclusive collaboration, Cameron mentors and hires emerging creatives from a wide range of cultural, gender, and sexual identities. Whether behind the camera or building a team, his work is a celebration of real people, real stories, and the transformative power of community.
