I have been intrigued by the Creepy Cameraman ever since his first video emerged on the internet because he is hilarious in the way he unsettles people with his camera.

So in my last article about him, I mentioned that I would like to interview him, leaving my email address for him to respond.

And sure enough, he did respond, but making sure he covered his tracks, emailing me from a spoof address, scm@photographyisnotacrime.com, telling me to contact him through his Vimeo account.

So I sent him a few questions and he responded a few hours later. He didn’t reveal a whole lot and I didn’t expect him to, but then when I sent him a follow-up question, he responded by asking me not to publish the interview.

Hey man. Sorry to do this, but is there any way I can convince you not to post the interview? Call it second thoughts, but I just don’t see these videos as a big deal and don’t want to treat them as one.

So that left me a little undecided as to what I should do. On one hand, I like to maintain trust with my sources but on the other hand, I need to inform my readers.

In this case, he reached out to me after I mentioned I had wanted to interview him. And he had plenty of time to decide whether he wanted to answer the questions. And it was only after a few hours after he sent them to me that he changed his mind.

So in the end, I sided with my readers, which is why I’m publishing the interview in its entirety. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it does provide a little more information than we already had.

And for the record, although I call him the Creepy Cameraman, I say that mostly tongue-in-cheek, just going by the creeped-out expressions on people’s faces that he encounters.

A true creepy cameraman would be inconspicuously recording up women’s skirts or installing hidden cameras in women’s bathrooms as we’ve seen done in the past.

This guy is about as upfront as you can get, which is why he is so funny.

So here goes the Q and A with the Creepy Cameraman or as he likes to call himself, the Surveillance Camera Man.
