2015 is the bicentenary of the birth of pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron.
Her home and workplace on the Isle of Wight, Dimbola Lodge, is now the place for people who want to know more about her work and see portraits of celebrities of that time.
A year of exhibitions and events is planned for Dimbola, including photographs never previously seen there before.
