David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson

These two were early Scottish photographers. They teamed up to take more than 3,000 photos, mostly portraits. It seems that the division of labor here was Hill, with an artistic background, providing guidance in composition and lighting, with Adamson doing the actual camera work. These are some of the earliest photos featured on this site so far.
