Julia Margaret Cameron: Influence And Intimacy
Discover the vibrant life and works of pioneering photographer Julia Margaret Cameron in this new exhibition, Julia Margaret Cameron: Influence and Intimacy, marking the 200th anniversary of her birth.
Drawn entirely from the world-class National Photography Collection, the exhibition features the Herschel Album (1864), a sequence of 94 images which Cameron considered to be her finest work to date.
Compiled by Cameron as a gift for her friend and mentor, the scientist Sir John Herschel, the album is comprised of Cameron’s bold, expressive portraits of influential friends, acquaintances and family members, including Alfred Tennyson and William Holman Hunt.
The exhibition will also include rare images and objects such as the late photographs taken in Sri Lanka, her camera lens – the only surviving piece of her photographic equipment – and handwritten notes from her autobiography.
Visit Virgin Media Studio at Media Space for a unique opportunity to see the spectacular, close-up portraits which helped shape photography into an art form and immortalised the Victorian age.
