Julia Margaret Cameron - Pomona - 1872


Introduced to the camera for the first time at the age of 48, Julia Margaret Cameron practiced photography for eleven years of her life in the mid-19th century, but her beautiful body of work wasn’t discovered until eighty years after her death. She was perhaps one of the very first practitioners of fine art photo-making, inspired by the pieces of famous painters to create non-commercial portrait art. Julia Margaret Cameron’s photos are visual poetry told about womanhood in the Victorian era and many of her pictorialism photographs were “staged” like in a movie set, either to serve as book illustrations or for pure personal pleasure. They ooze in innocence, youth, the kind of spirit that made her become one of the most important contributors to early Pictorialism and one of the most important artists in Britain at the time - Jacqueline Clyde and Angie Kordic.
