Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron was a British photographer. She became
known for her portraits of celebrities of the time, and for photographs
with Arthurian and other legendary or heroic themes.." Cameron was forty-eight, a mother of six, and a deeply religious,
well read, somewhat eccentric friend of many of Victorian England's
greatest minds.Cameron had no interest in establishing a commercial studio, however,
and never made commissioned portraits. Instead, she enlisted friends,
family, and household staff in her activities, often costuming them as
if for an amateur theatrical, aiming to capture the qualities of
innocence, virtue, wisdom, piety, or passion that made them modern
embodiments of classical, religious, and literary figures.
