We had the good fortune of connecting with Cameron Locke and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cameron, why did you pursue a creative career?
For the freedom to choose how I can positively effect the world thru my art. And I originally fell in love with acting as a teen that inspired me originally.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art has definitely changed over time I started as just a model barely giving it any effort but with collaboration and help from other creatives I managed to evolve beyond just modeling to content creation. As for as my content creation goes I turn my trauma into concepts that allow me to express them in ways others can relate too. It definitely was not easy and as a on going process it’s still not. Biggest lesson I’ve learned is to not compare myself or my work to others. My journey is not theirs. If I could tell the world anything it’s that to stay tuned the best is yet to come
