7 Must-Know MIA Guys Who Rule Fashion (And Look Good Doing It)

Camilo Rios, in-house photographer, The Webster Miami
We always expect the team at The Webster to produce a glamorous and lust-worthy editorial each season, but devotees should know that the man behind these beautiful shots (and videos) is Camilo Rios, the boutique’s official photographer. Rios studied filmmaking at Florida International University and is now lucky enough to team up with the fabulous duo behind the store, Laure Heriard Dubreuil and Milan Vukmirovic. He also freelances for local magazines and brands.

How does Miami influence your personal style?
“I think a personal sense of style comes through life experiences — the cities you visit, the books you read, the magazines you pick up. My personal style is influenced by everything from Japanese urban culture to classic American prep. Miami provides that international platform to express yourself and feel comfortable while doing your own thing.”

How has Miami shaped your career?
“Three years ago, I walked into The Webster Miami with little to no expectations and was given the opportunity of a lifetime to work as an in-house fashion photographer alongside Milan Vukmirovic and Laure Heriard Dubreuil. The Webster provided me with a channel to shape my career in an enormous way.”

What do you love about living and shooting in the Magic City?
“What's not to love about working in Miami? The Art Deco backdrop, the beaches, the weather — it really is paradise and a lot of people take it for granted. Most people perceive Miami as a nightlife destination, but I see it differently. In the world of photography, it's like an unchartered destination. I really enjoy unraveling and discovering this city one shoot at a time.”
