Julia Margaret Cameron was a 19th century photographer who took pictures of some of the most famous men of her time—Alfred Lloyd Tennyson and Charles Darwin to name a few. At times, she would ask them to sit for up to 6 hours so that she could perfectly capture the “essence of their masculinity.” Some of her sitters became so annoyed by the process that they stormed out of her studio, claiming she was mad.
Cameron’s female subjects sat for little more than half an hour.
What an exquisite kind of feminism.
