Another thing to remember with camellias is to clear all the fallen flowers away, they can harbor nasty blight which will make your flowers go brown & fall off.
This is worse in damp weather.
My camellias had a good prune back a couple of years ago, took them down below the top of our 6 ft fence.
I thought my neighbours would like the extra light into their kitchen but they asked me to leave them to grow as they like the privacy more!
As you can see form the pic they are way taller than the 6 ft fence now.
