Between Two Islands: Julia Margaret Cameron and Her Circle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798389071070)

ABOUT A VICTORIAN PIONEER OF ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY.

A chance encounter with an inventor of photography led to JULIA MARGARET CAMERON (1815-1879) becoming a pioneering artistic photographer. Her work transformed photography from the slavish copying of nature into a creative artform. Born in India, she was educated in France, worked in England, and died in Sri Lanka. For 15 years, she lived on the Isle of Wight, where she created most of her vast photographic oeuvre.

This book, illustrated with images and maps, describes Julia's life; her remarkable family; her circle of eminent Victorian friends and acquaintances; her travels; and the nature of her photographic output. Adam Yamey has followed in her footsteps in London, the Isle of Wight, India, and Sri Lanka, and presents her intriguing life and milieu from an exciting new perspective.
