How much can photos tell about the photographer?

• 7 min readAmong all creators of the 19th century, Lewis Carroll with about 3000 photos he produced would probably be the one to appreciate the launch of Instagram the most.
If you immediately associate Lewis Carroll with a little girl, a mad rabbit, and a smiling cat, but have no idea about the pictures he ever took, there is nothing wrong with you. The case is that Lewis Carroll is a pseudonym he only used for literary works, but when working as a photographer, as well as for when he was spending time as a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church, the University of Oxford, he preferred his real name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

C.L. Dodgson was about 24 when he got interested in the art of photography and kept practicing it for the major part of his life. It’s not what made Lewis Carroll famous, but it was an important part of his life which also points out to some curious aspects of the man’s life.
