Visiting Julia Margaret Cameron’s exhibitions in London

London, January 2015 – Today, together with the colleague Barbara Cattaneo, Federica Delìa attended a conference on Julia Margaret Cameron and visited the beautiful exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Science Museum in London.

She was a pioneer of photography and one of the first women in the field. Her personality, her art, and her mastery of the wet collodion process are certainly an inspiration for everyone who attempts to reproduce this technique today.
