The Rosebud Garden of Girls by Julia Margaret Cameron

Julia Margaret Cameron was one of the most important and innovative photographers of the 19^th century. Her photographs purposely out of focus, often including scratches, smudges and other traces of the artistic’s process were considered rule-breaking by the critics of her time.

She started taking up photography for her amusement at the age of 48, when she received a camera as a gift from her daughter and son-in-law. Nowadays she’s known for her portraits of the great men of the Victorian age, with whom she was well acquainted.
