British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) has been
described as "one of the Finest portraitists of the nineteenth
century-in any medium. "Raised in a well-connected and creative
family, Cameron led an unconventional life for a woman of the
Victorian age. After devoting herself to an artistic and literary
salon at her home on the Isle of Wight and raising eleven children,
Cameron took up photography in her late forties. Over the next
fourteen years, she produced more than a thousand strikingly
original and often controversial images. Her searching portraits of
her friends and acquaintances, including Alfred Tennyson and
Charles Darwin, have been called the world's first close-ups. This
biography casts new light on the artist's links with the leading
cultural figures of her time and on the techniques she used to
achieve her distinctive style. It is published to coincide with a
travelling exhibition of Cameron's photographs that will be on
display at the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the National
Museum of Photography, Film and Televison, Bradford, England, in
spring 2003 and will open at the Getty Museum in October 2003.
