Biography
David Octavius Hill (1802-1870) was a Scottish photographer who is best known for his early calotype portraits. Hill collaborated with Robert Adamson to produce a series of striking and sensitive portraits of individuals from all walks of life in the mid 19th century. Their work was pioneering in its use of natural light and its focus on capturing the character and individuality of their subjects. Hill and Adamson's work is widely considered to be a major contribution to the development of photography as an art form.
