Hello, I'll be reviewing this article against the GA criteria. Sorry for the long delay; I know how you feel.

Review

 * GA review (see here for criteria)

- "His photography business was not the only one established in the area during this time period." -> This is a little vague as to what it's trying to imply. Did he have competition? Was the photography business booming at the time? - "A blue velvet book covered with gold and diamonds covering the performance was presented as a gift on the occasion..." -> I'm assuming the book had Cephas work in it, but that's not very clear. I also think you should remove "covered with gold and diamonds" to make it more coherent. - I was bold and fixed a few other issues related to MoS and structure. - ISBNs for your final two book references are the same. - Final two sentences in "Personal life" seem irrelevant to Cephas, but seeing the lack of an article (or future article, for that matter) for them, I suppose it's fine.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * A few problems to take care of:
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * - Are you able to provide quotes for your citations? It would be appreciated, but I'll take your word for your claims if you can't.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * - "This allowed the subjects to be photographed more quickly rather than having to remain still for several moments." -> I don't think details relating to his camera's shutter speed (aside from the shutter speed itself) is really relevant.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * "Although both Cephas and his son were accomplished court photographers, Cephas was the most important of the two..." -> I'm unable to access the source, so this sounds a little non-neutral. Care to offer a quote?
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Arsonal is the sole major contributor, nothing else to say here.
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * All images have expired copyrights and are in the public domain.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days to address or respond to these concerns. Strike out whenever they are complete. Feel free to ask any questions here, as I am watching the page. Regards. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  19:12, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Failed due to failure to respond to concerns in the allotted time. Renominate when taken care of. Eric Leb 01 (Page &#124; Talk)  23:53, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
