We recently connected with Camara Hamilton and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Camara , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

Growing up I was not the most confident child, I was bullied and teased on a daily basis. However as I got older and grew into myself things drastically changed for me, all of a sudden I was receiving positive attention but the years of being laughed at still played a role in my mind. So although I was getting complimented I still didn’t feel beautiful to me. After schooling I worked a number of different jobs, got away from negative people and fake friends, I started to live for me and my self confidence began to grow. In 2020 I was working a full-time job with a yearly salary but I was miserable, I decided to do a photo shoot for my birthday that year just to try something I different, I figured my beauty must translate on camera LOL. The whole planning process seemed overwhelming at first but when the day came to shoot I absolutely LOVED it! I never thought I would have so much fun and be so comfortable being in front of the camera in this new way. From there I decided to try to shoot something every couple of months since it can be expensive and I didn’t yet have any connections in the area. My next shoot was in February of 2021, another amazing outcome and I was getting even more comfortable with photographers and beginning to connect with other local creatives. Shortly after in March the company I worked for began to make changes that I disagreed with causing me to part ways with them, I didn’t know what I was going to do at this point but I knew I couldn’t just sit around. So I fully immersed myself into my creativity, making YouTube videos and Tiktoks everyday and just honestly enjoying the freedom of not working. In July of that year I began meeting local photographers through a Facebook group for creatives in my area and its been history ever since! I am now internationally and multi-published, I have been in music videos, worked with brands, and many more things to come in the future.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is just knowing that you are doing exactly what moves you and it not up to anyone else or on anyone else’s time.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to become an agency signed model and work with top designer brands.
