Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron started her photography career late on in life as she was given a camera for her 48th birthday.Although her career was short lived lasting around 11 years i find her and her work really inspiring.Although she used a variation of people to model for her i particularly like her work when she used women.The reason for this is that women at this time definitely had less power than men and this definitely is shown if you think of all the great artists of the past the majority i can think of are males.Art as a whole not just photography was a male dominated environment.The reason i love her as a photographer is because she had a great ability to capture emotion when she photographed women she gave them strength.
