Cameron Murphy is an Australian photographer based in Cairns, where the tropical light and fleeting dusk inspire his cinematic approach. His work exists in the quiet space between memory and dream—capturing moments that feel half real, half imagined.

Through Dread & Dreams, Cameron explores the fragile beauty of imperfection: analogue-inspired textures, soft gradients, and a subtle aesthetic that recalls forgotten film reels of the 1970s. Each image is designed to feel like a still frame from a story never told, evoking nostalgia for eras we never lived but somehow remember.

With a background in literature and teaching, Cameron brings a sense of narrative and meaning to his photography. Influenced by music, modern and classic cinema, his work combines light and shadow into visually immersive experiences.

Cameron also creates Lightroom presets, art prints, photographic processing —helping others bring cinematic storytelling into their own photography. His process blends analogue inspiration with modern techniques.
