This 1864 photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron, titled "Julia Jackson," is a stunning example of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic in photography. Cameron's work is known for its soft focus and dramatic lighting, creating an ethereal and romantic atmosphere. The subject, Julia Jackson, is captured in a contemplative pose, her gaze directed slightly off-camera, her features softened by the delicate netting that covers her hair. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Cameron's mastery of capturing both physical beauty and inner emotion.
