WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
My name is Cameron, I’m a custom poet and photographer. I grew up in Augusta, and I have always loved telling stories through poetry. Now I write custom poems on my typewriter, prompted by words from strangers, bringing my booth to events throughout the Southeast. My style is a mix of lyric and light verse, with spiritual undertones. All poems are meant to be personalized and authentic!

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
You give me a word, I give you a poem inspired by that word — typewritten on the spot on premium cotton paper.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I’m inspired by my Creator to create and my faith always plays a part. I write from an authentic place, with intent to capture the wonder of life through carefully placed words.

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
I’ve made several short films inspired by TV shows!

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
My favorite thing about Downtown Augusta is how it blends historical revivalist architecture with natural Savannah River beauty — and with a fresh coat of paint from all the local artists who bring new life to it.

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
I love making poems for people, but I also love capturing photos of everything, sometimes I think the world is my muse.

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
Create and share. Don’t let your doubts get in your way. So many artists don’t take risks (myself included), so just take the leap of faith and overthink less. In an age of AI and corporate art, you offer something unique!
