That decision prompted his first direct contact with photography. Since she started working as a photographer for a graduate travel company, an experience that she -according to the 24-year-old- “it was the best course of my literal lifesince I went from knowing nothing to taking photos day and night, with flash, at parties, on the beach, at sunrise and even on a boat”.
From there, Camila took photos for graduation parties, bars, restaurants, quinceañeras, pregnant women, soccer, hockey, fashion, massive and private events, among other spots. On that path, she decided to study the career of Graphic design on the University of Palermo (UP). “Any extra tool works. Also, it allowed me to many contacts“, he confessed. And, a few months later, he founded the audiovisual production company Pipe Productions.
Finally, it was received in the midst of a pandemic, although the context of virtuality completely vanished their expectations regarding how it would be discharged. “I imagined partying and throwing eggs with my friends. Nothing like that happened”Camila said.

But the situation began to change a few months later, when the borders were gradually relaxed. Driven by her partner at the time, who lived in Costa Rica, she decided to move to Santa Teresa. Previously, she had traveled and known that country for him.
The sensations were many and varied: “I was very scared and depressed. There were many changes and everything scared me. One sometimes when he is very bad he has those drowning slaps. I don’t know if I made the decision with the idea of leaving forever, simply I wanted to leave Buenos Aires and escape from my headwho was obviously still here with me”.
Among so many fears, the fact that her ex-boyfriend was settled in the country made Camila feel “quiet”since -he related- “he was super settled, he had two houses, one of which we moved to, and it was the arrive perfect. It allowed me to take the first step, it helped me a lot“.

Already in Costa Rica, all that remained was to find a source of income. “I worked in a clothing store and also took photos. I always photographed with lots of love and dedication to the customerfor that reason, I suppose that they began to recommend me and, since what moves the most here is word of mouth, I started to growCamilla said.
And so he began his path of living from what he loves. Every day he receives proposals for productions. In that sense, the young woman highlighted that her favorite spot is the Rocamar beach: “It has a giant stone, where I did many sessions, since I feel very comfortable. We understand each other well, to the point of knowing where the model has to be located to achieve good light. It’s my safe and good place“.

Among her other sources of income, Camila currently provides a “Magic Masterclass”which is a four-hour course in which it grants photography tips and advice. “The idea of the course is to show that it is possible to dedicate oneself to photography and art“, he assured.
In addition to creating contents in their social networks, sell presets (development settings of a RAW image that can be saved and reapplied to other images) and also an ebook called “The first steps”which teaches the basics of beginning photography.

On the other hand, the young woman reported that when she arrived in Costa Rica her socialization was “null”but after separating from his partner he went on to have a “pretty containment net”: “During the high season, I had a family. We were 15 friends from everywhere -Germany, Australia, Israel, the United States, among others- that we were alone, then we knew what the other was up to. We moved and did many activities together. Also, being all artists -singer, tattoo artist, DJ, photographer, clothing designer-, it was very inspiring“.
So much was the inspiration that Camila saw possible combine photography with his other passions: the sea and surfing. For this reason, he is waiting for a cell phone case that allows him to create content, since “I learned too many things from the ocean and I saw many others that I want people to see. There are people who cannot imagine everything that happens in there“.

Along the same lines, when defining photography, the young woman said that “it takes you to places that you might not have known on your own“. And he exemplified: “I was in luxurious houses that, when you arrive, you ask yourself ‘how could someone need all that’?
Argentina, family and friends
“Argentina is such a beautiful country, there is an energy and a passion that is not found everywhere. When you are outside and come back, you look at it with different eyes, but with the love of always, since it is still my home. I miss my family and my friends, but also in Costa Rica I found another version of mewhich I like and inspires a lot”, admitted Cami Molina.
“I love to walk away and then value it even more. One always insists that Argentina is shit and the truth is that what we have is very nice“, he reflected.

Finally, for those who do not know what course to follow or have doubts, the young woman assured that “we set the limitations. The world has many possibilitiesthen, if one is true to oneself and does everything with love and respect, things begin to give alone. Must trust and listen the clues given by life, in addition to break with fears“.
“I said ‘I can’t surf because I get dizzy in the sea, it scares me, I’m not that athletic.’ shelterbut the reality is that my soul was bursting with desire, so one day I said ‘I’m going to do it, I’m going to try it as many times as necessary and, if I have to leave it for a while, I’ll do it, and then I’ll keep trying ‘. There are many things we tell ourselves that are not true at all. It’s just a matter of cheering up“, he exemplified.

“I know it’s not easy, but one must find their passion and talent, and put them at the service of the other. You have to always be expectant to learn, observe, listen and grow. Is a pretty strong deconstruction, because it is to be willing to unlearn everything they told us. But it is very possible and very healingCamila Molina concluded.
