HEADSHOTS – Diamond Cameo

Henry Mullins

Henry Mullins is one of the most famous Jersey photographers producing over 9,000 portraits of islanders from 1852 to 1873 at a time when the population was half of what it is today (55,000).

Mullins would produce a Diamond shape cameo to show 4 different angles of one subject.

In photoshop I made 4 ovals and put them into the shape of Henry Mullins diamond cameo, then I put the 4 images on top of the ovals, then made them a clipping mask so that they went into the oval. Then I increased the contrast and brightness on each of the 4 images so that they popped more.
