JULIA MARGARET CAMERON

Julia Margaret Cameron was a British woman photographer. She was born in Calcutta on June 11th of 1815 and she died on January 26th of 1879 in Kalutara. She is know for all the portraits she did. All those portraits are of the celebrities of that time. She is also know for photographs with Arthurian and other legendary and heroic themes. 
She started to take pictures and to make photography a hobby when she was given a camera as a present, at age 48. Her work wasn't appreciate when she was alive, but then it became very popular on modern photographers.

She took pictures with some different effects. Black and white, in some kind of light browns, which make the picture seem very old. They are like foggy too, like if it were fog that prevent us to see the picture clearly. This effect make the photos original and exclusive.
Here I post some of my favorite pictures of Julia Margaret.
