Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron was a British photographer in the late 1800's. She was born in 1815 and died in 1879. she received her first camera at the age of forty-eight. She began with no knowledge of photography and within eighteen months had submitted over 80 photos to the Victoria and Albert Museum and had arrangements with the print seller Colnaghi. she took pictures of people she knew and made them into celebrities. She was completely original and innovative.


These pictures are beautiful because you want to know what the model is thinking. what was Cameron's thoughts for this photo? What was she trying to convey? I love pictures of people because i think they tell a story more than any other types of photography.



One of the reasons her images are so interesting to me is because I never could have imagined this man. I don't know him, yet there he is, developing a story line that is open to my imagination.


Once again, just beautiful and original.
