As professional collaborators, James and William Freeman achieved great success with their quality portraits and innovative approach. Their unusually elongated studio enabled them to overcome some technical limitations of the day. James had a particularly sophisticated understanding of photography, and had experimented with microphotography using a microscope and an artificial light source.
