Julia Margaret Cameron 1815 - 1879 (Photographer)- Received the first camera as a gift
- Cameron's style of taking her own photographic work is mainly portraiture style. She introduces a different way capturing her portraits in such an emotional way. She uses a lot of emotions in her style of portraiture work such as sadness, gracefulness of an emotion of a woman, children, different kind of expressions.
-avoided perfect resolution and minute detail that glass negatives permitted - opting carefully directed light - soft focus and long exposures that allowed the viewer see the movement in her photographs - Instilling them with a sense of breath and life.
- photographs that Cameron captured were converted in an act of will into Biblical heroines, Renaissance Cherubs and Arthurian Maidens.
- used unorthodox technique - with deep spiritual sensibility and a Pre - Raphaelite - influenced of a gallery of vivid portraits and a personal reflection of the Victorian soul.
