About

My name is Camille. I’m a Filipino-born photographer & graphic designer based in Canmore, Alberta—a small town in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

When I started my blog in 2008 (pre-Instagram, #influencers and #bloggers), I had no real plans for what it would be. I used it to share little life updates alongside personal design & photography projects, as well as work I produced at university. 

After that, it evolved into a space for my writing and personal work. Writing helped me embrace the value of vulnerability, openness and authenticity in a world that has taught us to keep all that makes us human behind closed doors.

My upbringing and my early experiences as a migrant caused me to be curious about other people, places and their stories from a young age. This also allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for our natural world, and the mountains I now call home. Many of the images I capture focus on nature and my time in the outdoors. Having struggled with anxiety & depression since I was an early teen, spending more time in nature has had an immense impact on my overall health and wellbeing, and is something I am always inspired by.

In 2018, I renamed this blog “Camille Becoming” in honour of my ever-evolving nature as a human being. Thanks for being along for the ride.

You'll find my work as a professional photographer at camillenathania.com, and you can find me on Instagram @camillenathania.
