Biography:
Roger Fenton originally studied law in London before training as a painter there and in Paris. He regularly exhibited his painted and also helped start a drawing school in London that offered evening instruction for working men. His involvement in the arts led to his correspondence with French photographers, Gustave Le Gray and Henri Le Secq. Fenton became a photographer and his career in the medium only lasted twelve years, but covered many subject matters. He was a founding member of the Photographic Society in London and photographed the royal family. In 1852, Fenton made the first photographs of Russia and Kremlin. Then in 1853, he was asked to document the collection of the British Museum. In 1862, Fenton abandoned photography because of the commercialization of the medium and returned to his law practice.
