Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron ( 1815 – 1879 )

There is some controversy with this english photographer about her peculiar style. While some  say that her style was wanted others say that she had technical shortcomings, but the fact is that thanks these peculiarities wanted or not, his works have a very unique blur  which gives them a poetic look.

She is considered one of the very first pictorialist photographers in the late nineteenth century. Her work was a great inspiration for the pre-Raphaelites painters.

She used inappropriate lens for the plates that she chose, because of that we often find spots and scratches on his works.

It is thought that she learned  of Gustave Rejlander and Lewis Carroll her technique at first.
