Problem with my Camellia

we’ve got a lovely, mature camellia in our garden. We bought the house a year ago, so don’t know it’s history but it’s obviously done well in the past looking at it’s size!
It is in full sun, in fairly sandy soil. Over the last few weeks I have started to feed it with camellia food but I have read here that it could be a number of problems https://gardening.which.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/213506149-Yellow-leaves-on-camellia Looking at the pictures, which were all taken at the same time, just from various angles, could anyone help me to narrow down the problem and give the right treatment. The first few pictures show the healthy looking side and the others show the yellowing. It’s only on one side, which is the side that faces south.

Looking at your photos, I think it’s a healthy mature shrub. Feed your shrub by all means, but I don’t think it is something to worry too much about at the moment.
