"What is focus- and who has the right to say what is the legitimate focus?  My aspirations are to enoble photography and to secure for it the character and uses of High Art by combining the real and the ideal." - Cameron

Reclining Nude

Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). Reclining Nude. 1879.
Higonnet, Anne. Pictures of Innocence: Tthe History and Crisis of Ideal Childhood. Thames and Hudson: London. 1998.

 

"Virtually all of Dodgson's 38 documented figure studies (nudes) and their negatives were destroyed by him or his Executor at his direction, and only four extant images are known - prints of images that had been given to the families of the subjects and then included in/surviving from family albums. Most of Dodgson's figure studies were taken in the 1870s, a period in which he was working with several artists to develop ideas/images for illustrations in several publications he was planning. Over-painting of portraits was not unusual, rendering the image more 'artistic' and, in the case of nudes, creating a narrative context that would allow the image to be shown with propriety to friends."
