INQUIRY #8: JULIA MARGARET CAMERON



2. Her photography style was characterized by...(what, specifically?) Portraits of celebrities of the time, and for photographs with Arthurian and other legendary or heroic themes.

3. When did she live and die? June 11, 1815 - 26 January 1879 (aged 63)

4. Post an image she made, and explain what you like about it (this is purely subjective).
  I like this portrait because I love the lighting because its dark on one side but both of her eyes are still glowing. It gives a very mysterious look and the models face is very serious which gives it a chilling mood. 

5. How long did her work "languish in obscurity" before being considered important to the history of photography? She found more acceptance among pre-Raphaelite artists than among photographers. Her work has had an impact on modern photographers, especially her closely cropped portraits.
