LEWIS Carroll is best known for penning Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but when he wasn't busy writing he turned his hand to an emerging art form.
Carroll, also known as Charles Dodgson, took many photographs of his contemporaries at Christ Church College and inspired works which are now on display at the Natural History Museum.
Two of his subjects were Julia Margaret Cameron and Sarah Angelina Acland who went on to become two of the most famous female photographers of their time.
Cameron snapped this iconic image of Oxford student and naturalist Charles Darwin, whose theories on evolution and natural selection changed the way we think about the world.
Acland, who was inspired and taught by Cameron, was the first to exhibit work combining images taken with red, green and blue filters in 1904.
This was three years before the launch of the colour photography process invented by the Lumiere brothers.
One such snap features Professor of Medicine Dr Rolleston with the museum's famous Dodo skeleton.
The Pioneers of Photography exhibition runs at the museum in Parks Road until Tuesday, January 24.
