When is the best time to commence and stop feeding a Camellia? I have one in a pot and am never sure how to look after it properly. It never has a many flowers on it and this year they seemed smaller. I am thinking of repotting, is this a good time? Thanks

It's probably needing a bigger pot, and more importantly, more water.
Use a soil based compost - or mix some garden soil (if it's not alkaline) with some compost - and use that. Even in reasonable rainfall, water doesn't penetrate very well, so check the soil regularly to see that the soil isn't dried out. There are specific feeds for Camellias etc , but you can use a general feed to promote flowering. In a pot, you might find it easier to use one of those slow release plant foods instead.
After watering thoroughly, use a mulch to help prevent evaporation, and put the plant somewhere with a bit of shade which will also be less stressful for it. The key time is late summer/early autumn for these shrubs, and rhododendrons, as this is when the new flowers form. Make sure it doesn't go short of water at that time.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
