Julia Margaret Cameron was an impressive photographer who became the most important British photographer of the Victorian era with her religious-romantic scenes and extraordinary portraits. Her grandniece described her as a strong-willed personality who had spent many exhausting years as a housewife and mother before she almost accidentally became an important artist at the age of 48.
The photographer was born in 1815 in Calcutta, India. At the age of 21 she met Charles Hay Cameron, a lawyer 20 years her senior, in South Africa. Both married two years later and had six children together. Later they bought two plots of land on the Isle of Wight and named the property Dimbola Lodge. This became the starting point and centre of their life as photographers. In her estate she received and portrayed her famous guests and arranged pictures. It was said of Dimbola Lodge "...it was truly a house where everyone enjoyed themselves and where everyone, man, woman and child, was always welcome." Cameron was very enthusiastic and energetic in her approach to each of her undertakings. Her selflessness and helpfulness made her dear to a large circle of friends.

Her pictures were so sought after that new negatives of her early works were produced and 70 motifs in two different shades - red-brown and black - were reissued. Julia Margaret died at the age of 63 years in Kalutara. In one of her last letters she wrote: "A blessing rested on my photographic work; it gave pleasure to millions and a deeper happiness to many.
