In October 2020, she launched La Camera, a photographic studio that revisits the genre of portraiture in collaboration with local artists. Rebecca Bowring is a graduate of the Vevey school of photography and of the University of Art and Design (HEAD). She lives and works in Geneva, where she carries out most of her mandates.
