Oleanders and camelias need less shape and more blooms

My oleanders have always been whacked with a hedge trimmer by the gardeners, they look like boxes, never has any blooms as the shrub is always trimmed. How do I prune it back so that it has a more natural look and get away from the consolidated hedge look? My thought was to start clipping branches from underneath the shaped canopy, closer to the main stalk. These bushes have always been kept about 4 feet tall. The same for my camelias.
