He photographed subjects he encountered professionally or considered important as a member of parliament. He took photos of plantations, gold mining, farm settlers and other immigrants, and cityscapes of Paramaribo. Muller used dry gelatin glass plates and albumen paper, the most common photographic materials around 1880. No negatives of his photographs are known to exist. His first photograph dates from 1883. The equipment Muller used was likely acquired during his time in the Netherlands. He never adopted newer photographic techniques.
