Today we’d like to introduce you to Camila Rosa
Hi Camila, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up in a family full of creatives—architects, furniture designers, and painters—so art was always a big part of my life. Add to that our travels, where I was constantly exposed to vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and inspiring museums, and it’s no surprise that I fell in love with photography. From the moment I picked up a camera, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue forever.
I started my journey in the entertainment industry by attending film school at Full Sail University and diving into hands-on work. I’ve worked on shows like The Real Housewives of Miami and The Ultimatum, commercials for brands like Ray-Ban, Red Bull, and Master Card, music videos for Natti Natasha and Karol G, and campaigns for Gaultier, FRAME, and The Wall Street Journal. These experiences give me a strong foundation and allowed me to blend my passions for photography and fashion in a way that feels completely natural.
Now, alongside my best friend, Grecia Quintero, I’ve co-founded SOYLA, a media agency that provides brands with all their media need—from content creation for social media to full-scale ad campaigns and commercials Photography has always been at the heart of what I do, and I’m passionate about helping others bring their creative visions to life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I don’t think anyone can say that their path has been paved with daisy’s but don’t see challenges as obstacles—they’re lessons. Things like pricing my work, communicating effectively with clients, and staying positive and motivated during slow times or situations out of my control have all been valuable learning experiences. Imposter syndrome, especially in a city like Miami, where the talent is absolutely immaculate can feel overwhelming at times, but I try to channel that energy into growth rather than doubt.
I’m incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of my friends, family, and the coworkers who’ve become family after countless hours spent together on set. These moments, even when they feel tough, are opportunities to grow—both in my career and as a person.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
People closet to me know I do a little bit of a lot of things but mostly styling and photography, specializing in commercial and editorial-style work. I’ve done a variety of conceptual photoshoots, each one tailored to the themes and styles requested by my clients. However, I’m most proud of the work that brings my Hispanic heritage to the forefront. Collaborating with friends, I’ve had the opportunity to create work that celebrates the lively colors, culture, and traditions of my latin community. Those projects not only resonate deeply with me, but they also allow me to share an important part of my identity through the art.
Styling is another passion of mine, and it plays a big role in my creative process. Whether it’s curating personal wardrobes to reflect someone’s unique aesthetic or crafting surreal looks for editorial shoots and ad campaigns, I love helping translate visions into interesting outfits These elements come together to make my work not only visually impactful but also a true reflection of the stories my clients want to tell.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I’ve been fortunate to have many mentors in my life, both personally and professionally. Each one has inspired and challenged me in ways that have helped shape who I am. Personally, I believe there’s always something to learn from anyone you may have a conversation with. However, the mentors who’ve impacted me the most are the ones who saw something in me that I didn’t yet see in myself. They’ve opened my eyes to my potential, whether through deep conversations or, at times, even literally waking me up in the morning.
Networking and putting yourself out there is crucial—attending events, knocking on doors, and being seen is an essential part of the journey. But having people in your corner is just as important. This life isn’t meant to be lived alone, and I wouldn’t want it to be. Knowing that I have a strong support system—people who help when needed and share in my victories—is something I value deeply.
