Julia Margaret Cameron
Julia Margaret Pattle. The daughter of James Pattle, a British officer of the British East India Company and of Adeline de l’Etang, who was a descendent of French aristocrats, Julia Margaret Pattle was an English photographer, and an exponent of pictorialism. She lived in India and in France, and later, with her husband and six children, she settled in Wight, England. Her passion for photography did not begin to develop until 1863. She dedicated herself mainly to portrait and allegoric illustrations of tales and novels. Her images incorporate the dreamy atmosphere of the Victorian era, with a slight out of focus effect that lends her portraits of children and of women immersed in nature an ethereal quality

Miroslav Tichý
Tichý attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague dedicating himself to modernist painting until 1948 when the communist regime imposed the representation of workers in overalls rather than posing models. Tichý refused and left the academy. After military service he began painting again according to his style, to the point that the communist regime considered him a dissident and confined him for a few days in the state psychiatric clinic. In the sixties Tichý began to neglect his physical appearance so much as to be considered by all an eccentric. He wandered around the city of Kyjov with a self-built and deliberately imperfect camera (blurry shot, dirty lens and scratched...) to steal images of women, drawn by the essence of femininity.
