Diamond cameo photographs where first patented by F.R. window of London in 1864. each image is a portrait of the same person indifferent positions. A special camera which was made by Dallmeyer was used, the one glass negative was moved to a new position in the back of camera after each portrait had been taken, when the paper print had been transferred on the card a special press was used to punch the four portraits up into a convex cameo shape.
Henry Mullin was a London photographer in 1840, he then moved to Jersey in July 1848. setting up a studio known as the Royal Saloon, at 7 Royal Square. he started with his partner Mr Millward, about whom very little is known. By the following year he was working alone and he continued to work out of the same studio for another 26 years.
I used four portraits, two in black and white to create contrast between the images. i used a flash light against a black background to give a clear background and foreground.
You have until February Half Term to complete and improve any missing / weak blog posts. In this time you can also add to your photo-shoots, ideas and edits…maybe even coming up with more final images.
Use your tracking sheet to pinpoint areas for improvement.
We will be framing and displaying your final prints too before Half Term and re-marking your coursework for you.
Keep working hard!
