Trent Kamerman

LOS ANGELES - ARIZONA - NEVADA - COLORADO - NEW MEXICO

With a last name that uniquely echoes his profession, Trent Kamerman, the founder and owner of 800-KAMERMAN, leads a team of talented shooters across the country.

Trent began his career in 1983 as a tape editor, and then as a shooter, for the NBC affiliate in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1986, he became a full-time shooter at Albuquerque’s CBS affiliate, covering general news and sporting events. In 1989, he headed west to help start-up Orange County News (OCN) in Santa Ana, California, heading the channel’s live truck in its electronic news gathering efforts. In 1992, before making the transition to self-employment, Trent freelanced at K-CAL in Los Angeles, as well as for the CNN and FOX networks.

In October 1993, Trent’s entrepreneurial dream came true, and 800-KAMERMAN was established.

After starting 800-KAMERMAN, Trent’s first shoot was for ESPN’s “Scholastic Sports America,” a program featuring high-school athletes, where he covered a then up-and-coming golfer named Tiger Woods. Since then, he has worked with such recognizable names as Tony Hawk, Milton Berle, Elle Macpherson, Robin Leach, Tony Robbins, Elton John, Robin Williams and Wayne Gretzky, to name a few. On his quest to capture images that are compelling to viewers and critical to his clients he has traveled to Japan, China, Russia, Borneo, and across South and North America as well as creating the behind-the-scenes photography for the US National Soccer Team in the last three World Cups.

With a commitment to client service and a penchant for fun, Trent sums up his motivation succinctly: “I love people and I love telling their stories.”
