Julia Margaret Cameron was a British photographer renowned for her portraits of the era's celebrities and her pictures themed around Arthurian and similar legends. Her photographic career was brief, spanning the last eleven years of her life, beginning only at the age of forty-eight. Her work, particularly her closely cropped portraits, profoundly influenced the development of modern photography, with her distinctive style still being emulated today.
