Director Camila Cornelsen Brings Distinctive Lens to aftrhrs. 

aftrhrs. is known within the advertising world for its cutting-edge style on everything its artists touch, and director Camila Cornelsen is a promising addition to the content studio’s distinctive directorial team. Camila is an experimental talent that has worked on an expansive array of subjects within her visual storytelling.  A few notable brands that she has worked alongside include Nike, Apple, Vogue, Google, Instagram, and Facebook. Some of the distinguishing features of her work are her use of bright colors, soft lighting, retro details, and the testimonials of real human beings telling real human stories. She pulls inspiration from the relatability and the romantic of everyday life. Camila fuses her innate draw toward the eccentric with each brand’s advertising methods to produce work that continues to compel. The nature of Camila’s work is based in a melding of preservation and modernity within visual narratives. 

“Mixing her background in the dance/music and the fine arts with experimentation on the front lines of form/function and the veracity of changing mediunms,  cCamila typifies the kind of director we seek to champion at this company. An original voice that’s done her homework down to the classics but who does not turn her nose up at emerging forms. We seek to provide her with the flexibility that this multidisciplinary artist needs to become an original and distinct voice in advertising, cinema and entertainment."
