Our family takes an end of summer photo at a shared summer house every year so whoever is around gets memorialized. Mostly it’s the same people over and over, changing over time, but all the variations matter as much as the continuity. Now we have a fridge covered in some 20 images.... it’s a sort of shrine to summer.
Thx for this!
Btw, what about the poses plastiques that are related to tableaux? Those were more in the “artistic study” category, I guess. Cameron made some based on classical statuary too.
Such a lovely idea to take a summer photo. I hope it continues for generations, and a reminder of wonderful times. Yes, the poses plastiques were related to tableaux, and mostly in the 'if it moves, it's rude' category 🤣. Once you start looking for tableaux they are everywhere!
Brilliant! I love the tableau vivant theatre company. So creative with just a few props, it kind of takes you behind the scenes in the artist’s studio!
Julia Margaret Cameron took beautiful photographs. She did not start photography until she was 48, when her daughter gave her a camera to stop her being lonely while her husband was abroad on business. https://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/julia-margaret-cameron
