Cameron's first documentary, Ibiza - A Short Film About Chilling, is a 'classic' record of the Ibiza club scene in 1990.[1][2]

He is best known for his association with Creation Records during the 1990s, where he made music videos for Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Cathedral, Primal Scream and others. Several of his videos are known for having a distinctive psychedelic visual style.[3]

Cameron was also given a credit for photography on Loveless, which later featured a Supreme release in 2020[3][4] and created short films to accompany My Bloody Valentine's concerts, beginning with the Rollercoaster Tour.[5] Of working with the band, he said: "I had my best and most creative working relationship with My Bloody Valentine."[6]
