Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79) was one of the most important and innovative photographers of the 19th century. Criticised in her lifetime for her unconventional techniques, she is now celebrated as a pioneering portraitist. 2015 marks the bicentenary of Cameron's birth and the 150th anniversary of her first museum exhibition - the only one in her lifetime - held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1865.
