I just found this lovely video that features some of Cameron's photographs:
I saw a collection of her photographs at the Getty several years ago, and they blew me away. Possibly because I'm a Victorian literature freak, and so her portraits of famous writers and poets, as well as depictions of literary figures really appealed to me.
She often made albumen prints of her photos, which conveyed the same feel as tintype photographs.
On photographing her subjects:
When I have had such men before my camera my whole soul has endeavored to do its duty towards them in recording faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer man.
