Julia Margaret Cameron
Julia Margaret Cameron (1 815.06.1-1879.01.26) is a pioneer of British artistic portrait photography (figure1). She was born in Calcutta, India, with a well-off family, read a lot of poetry books, returned to England at the age of 30, and made close friends with the literati circle. However, it was not until the age of 48 that all six children grew up and left their old nest that she received a camera from her daughter and son-in-law and really had a chance to start her own artistic creation. She transformed her henhouse into a darkroom, from knowing nothing about photography to leaving thousands of masterpieces in the world. She recorded the photo of the subject with the lens and found herself with the lens. She took the lead in trying soft focus technology and light, creating a real and illusory drama for the picture, making photography focus on recording and narrative.
Her first photo album was published by Virginia Woolf (her eldest niece) many years after her death.
