Julia Margaret Cameron

      Julia received her first camera in 1863. It was a gift from a daughter in law and she immediately loved it. Julia started very amateur and had no intention on doing commercial photography. She had friends and family that were writers and scientist and she captured images for them. Also, she moved on to take pictures of people. But the people that modeled for her were called her victims because of how unprofessional she was and how messy and unorganized she kept anything. Julia wasn't recognized universally. But people began to give her credit for her stubbornness and that she wasn't giving up. By 1875 Julia had over 800 images in many extraordinary exhibits.

I like this image because the boy looks very natural just sitting there. I'm not really sure what he is wearing but it's working for him. You can also tell in his face that he's not that comfortable at all.

The image below with the man is cool because his face impression is really disturbed. Also I like it because of the lighting.

I like the image with the woman a lot more. She doesn't look like she is modeling and the feelings that her face shows seem very sincere and real to me.
