LatestEllie starts her first day of work only to realise it isn't the job she thought it was...
Camera Shy is a 10-episode LGBTQIA+ TikTok web series filmed from the perspective of a laptop camera. Ellie, a budding photographer accidentally takes an online desk job at a school photography company and finds herself having to prove to her boss that she is worthy of a photographer position. Meanwhile, she has discovered she has a crush on her roommate Sam, causing her to be distracted from her work which unfortunately all her co-workers can hear as her microphone isn't on mute. Helen, Ellie's grandma (Sam's best friend) comes to stay, and it isn't long before she realises they like each other and makes it her mission to get the two together.
