STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Cameron Hart came to Penn State University to study business in 2013 after excelling in mathematics as a student at Jersey Shore Senior Area High School.
On April 12, 2016 Cameron Hart had his first front page photo at The Daily Collegian, the student newspaper at Penn State. The photo was was taken of Penn State Global Brigades. They were raising awareness about water inequality outside the HUB-Robeson Center.Hart, the son of a minister, was able to secure an internship over the summer as a Penn State student in the field of business, however; that’s when he realized who he really was.
“After sitting at a desk all summer, I realized I hated it,” said Hart about the business major. He began to doubt the path he had chosen and quickly found a new home in photography.
Once Cameron had the camera shutter button under the tip of his finger, it sparked an unbreakable bond that would take him on an incredible journey as a photo-journalism major at Penn State University.
Through his degree program, coupled with a natural talent, Hart has been able to travel to many places throughout the world including Paris, France while even making a trip to Cuba with the Penn State Baseball team several months before United States President Barack Obama hit Cuban soil.“I’ll walk by something and know I immediately have to take a picture, because I’ll regret it later.” explained Hart, who documents his pictures on his Facebook page.
After graduation, Hart plans to continue traveling the world and hear stories from all types of people.

Growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, Hart had no idea about his love for visual jounralism. Never feeling like he fit in with the other kids in his high school, he knew there was a vast world out there for him to explore and Penn State helped him find it.
