Cameron Keller is an artist and model based out of New Mexico.

We got together at a photo studio and created some portraits with an editorial vibe. Below is the photos from our shoot, some of Cameron’s art creations, and also an interview with her.

What formats/mediums do you like to work in?

I primarily work with acrylic paint. I like to add texture and depth to my canvases with clay. While I’m working on large scale murals I use a lot of house paint & spray paint.

“Go piss girl”
“Inspired by the fact that (some) butterflies are scavengers. They’re attracted to the smell of urine, and decomposing flesh. I also think it would be funny if girls could pee as openly as men do.”

What’s your favorite part about modeling?

I think modeling is fun! Honestly, my favorite part is wearing cute clothes, and feeling confident .

Got any favorite quotes?

My favorite quote is a meme about Rudolf haha “deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable”

What’s your process like in creating your work?

with two kids my creation process is usually pretty chaotic. I get my ideas sporadically & have to keep an ongoing “ideas” list. My stuff is all over the place. I move my things based to wherever the kids are playing.

“Soul collector”
“I have a lot of dreams of this character for some reason”

What’s your favorite movie you’ve seen this year? (It can be old or new, as long as it was new to you)

Favorite movie from this year was Dinner in America

Is what inspires you for modeling different than what inspires you for creating your work?

I think that my inspiration for modeling and creating art comes from the same place. Essentially, trying to capture the art that is being a person into a single moment.

“Center of the Earth”
“A lot of times I’m trying to encapsulate the energy of the desert. I think specifically New Mexico has a lot of portals/unworldly things going on.”

Favorite pizza toppings??

My favorite pizza topping is green chile.

What’s your unwinding routine?

I like to unwind by running the ditch banks. It forces me to focus on breathing, and my environment.

What was one of your favorite days of 2024?

My favorite memory this year was when we irrigated our back field in the middle of summer. We all played in the shallow water at sunset. It was gorgeous, and such a simple, fun memory.
