Loren Cameron was born in the United States, and is a native Californian. Self-taught as a photographer and artist, he began producing self-portraits and images of transgendered people in 1993. By 1995 his work had been shown in solo exhibitions in San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. His first photographic book, Body Alchemy: Transsexual Portraits (Cleis Press) was published in 1996, winning two Lambda Literary awards (Inaugural Transgender Category and Small Press Category 1997). In 2001, he published his second publication, an electronic book on the World Wide Web, Man Tool: The Nuts and Bolts of Female-to-Male Surgery (Zero eBooks).
Cameron is celebrated for his seminal work of transgender self-representation in the Photographic Arts. His historical contribution has acquired the distinction of being preserved and archived by Cornell University Library. As an honored guest speaker, Cameron lectures extensively throughout the United States at such institutions as Smith College, Harvard, Cornell, and Brown University, University of California at Berkeley, and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
His recently published body of work (portraits and nudes of male and female transgenders) is printed in three volumes: Cuerpos Fotografiados Por Cameron 1 and 2, and Correspondence 1997-2001 (Taller Experimental Cuerpos Pintados 2003). This project is touring internationally within the context of a group exhibit: Taller Experimental Cuerpos Pintados produced by acclaimed master photographer, Roberto Edwards of Santiago, Chile.
Cameron continues to photograph the transgender nude, creating a comprehensive and diverse representation of transsexual body modification. Concurrently, he is producing an intimate, photographic essay depicting homosexual Female-to-Male transsexuals (gay-identified FTMs).
