When photographing, Mann has chosen to remain using the
bellows camera, which was first used in the 19
th century. This is an 8 by 10 camera which uses the
platinum printing process and
bromoil printing process. She has also used the
wet plate collodion process which appears to be a mixture of photography, sculpture, and painting. Because Mann uses this 19
th century method of photography her photographs appear to be taken from long ago and have many “imperfections” creating a timeless effect. This method that she uses categorizes her camerawork into more of the 19
th century period of photography as opposed to modern day.
