Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was 48 years old when she was given her first camera as a Christmas present. Today, she is known as one of the defining artists of early photography.
I just read a novel set in British-colonized India where one of the characters was a woman who photographed friends and family like this. I very much appreciate now knowing one the real people who inspired that story! What an incredible woman.
It’s the Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn. Honestly only like 3/5 stars 😭 but now I appreciate knowing about one of the real women who probably inspired one of the characters!
From your description it does seem that Julia Cameron could have provided the inspiration for the character! And that's good to know; perhaps not one to add to my reading list then hahaha
