Happy World Photography Day!

What better place to celebrate than Dimbola, the former home and workplace of one of photography’s great pioneers, Julia Margaret Cameron?

When Mrs Cameron first picked up a camera in her late 40s, photography was still a relatively new medium. She soon developed a distinctive style of her own — creating atmospheric portraits with soft focus, dramatic lighting and an extraordinary sense of character.

Her photographs weren’t simply records of what someone looked like. Mrs Cameron wanted to capture something of the person behind the face. Her friends, family, artists, writers and neighbours became the subjects of photographs that are still admired around the world today.

This World Photography Day, come and discover the woman who helped photography become an art form — right here at Dimbola. ❤️

Another Julia birthday post!

Victorian photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, was born on this day in 1815.

She chose this portrait as her favourite from all her works.

Having taken up photography at the age of forty-eight, Cameron became a pioneer of photography in the Victorian age. Her works were exclusively portraits and staged tableaux, and, over a 12-year period, she took over 1200 photographs. These included striking portraits of the scientist Sir John Herschel and poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

The subject of this particular photograph is Julia Jackson, Cameron’s niece and god-daughter. Jackson was the mother of writer Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell. She was photographed by Cameron almost fifty times, and was a model for many leading artists, including Edward Burne-Jones.

Today, we’re celebrating her incredible portraits, creative approach to photography, and the lasting impact she’s had on artists and photographers over the years.

To mark the occasion, we’re sharing The Kiss of Peace (1869), a beautiful example of Mrs Cameron’s artistic vision and her ability to create photographs that are both intimate and timeless.
