W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight?
M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions?
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Emily Cameron.I would have to mention it earlier,but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.
M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia...
W: Emily Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s.(1)________________________________________because she...how should I say,change the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did,you know, just capturing what a person look like in a neutral and natural way.(2)____________________________________________________.M: Interesting! How did she do that?
W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture.Like one of those things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject.That's pretty common now. Her techniques brought great influence to the later photographers.
M: Yeah, she's great. Who did she photograph?
W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson,Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin..., I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.
M: (3)________________________________________.I am going to enjoy this.
W: I'll give you a call when I get the tickets.
M: I bet we'll have great fun there.
She is interesting to art-historians in general and students of photography in particular
She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality.
You really pick my curiosity
