This coming Sunday (20th January) the pioneering Victorian Isle of Wight photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron, will be the subject of a 15 minute episode on Radio 4 Extra.
In the second episode of the series, Snapshots in the Dark, Colin Ford discovers how Cameron changed portraiture forever, thanks to her life-size reproduction of the head.
