"I was blown away" - Halifax photographer delighted after winning at Yorkshire Blogger of the Year Awards

Cameron McGarvey, 26, has been running CMCG Creative for three years. It is primarily a photography business but Cameron also offers videography and content creation to be used across a variety of social media platforms and marketing material covering food, commercial, travel, fitness and other areas.

"I was blown away,” Cameron said on winning the award, “it was a massive honour to be nominated in the first place and to be recognised.

"There were a lot of great bloggers and content creators nominated so it was a great achievement to come away with an award.”

Cameron says blogging plays quite a large part in his business and that he writes about most of the shoots he does.

"I found as my business grew I would get more and more questions with regards to photography, camera gear, how to take better content using your phone etc,” he said.

"So I started blogging as a way as not only a way to provide useful information for people who want to learn a bit more, but also offering a service for people who want to improve their photography/content whether it be for their business or personal use.

"It’s a great way to grow an audience. Some will be existing clients, others will be new businesses that have found me and need photography/videography or others will be individuals who will then go on to enquire about courses, presents or even the photography prints I sell.

"However, the main reason blogging will continue to play a big part is because my goal for my work is for it to be seen by as many people as possible.

"I put a lot of hard work and time into my content so it’s a personal goal to make sure I can get it seen as much as I can.”
