This work is inspired by Henry Mullins, a photographer from Jersey who photographed nearly 9000 people between 21 years.(1852-1873)

His portrait were printed on a carte de visite as a small albumen print, (the first commercial photographic print produced using egg whites to bind the photographic chemicals to the paper) which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card.

I went into Photoshop and used the elliptical marquee tool which cropped my images into ovals which meant all I needed to do was drag each image and put them into a diamond formation.

I put one of the images in black and white so that it would look like Mullins’ pictures as there was no colour photography during that time.
