professional photographer, worked in Adelaide at various addresses between 1861 and 1874, during which time he became well known for his multiple-image portraits. In 1865 he offered to make double portraits, claiming that no line of separation would show. In the 1866 Adelaide Almanac and Directory for South Australia he advertised: 'single, double, triple and cameo style photographs, up to five figures of one person in different positions on one card’. A triple self-portrait, taken in 1865, survives (NGA). Goode’s major source of income, however, came from the sale of photographic equipment and chemicals to amateurs. His 1866 advertisement offered chemicals and apparatus so that 'sheepfarmers, gentlemen amateurs and others can be supplied with a complete set of photographic goods, with instructions, and all packed in case for £10; larger sizes £15 and £20’.
Goode advertised in Perth as an (Adelaide) 'agent for chemicals and apparatus’ in 1867 and 1868. He visited WA in 1867 and formed a brief partnership with W.W. Thwaites but soon returned to Adelaide. He won prizes for his untouched photographic views (probably all stereos) at the South Australian Society of Arts’ Exhibition in 1867 and again in 1868 and 1870. He advertised 'views…suitable for albums and larger sizes’ in the 1869 South Australian Almanac and Directory . Later Goode moved to Sydney. He was manager of the Excelsior Portrait Company in King Street, Newtown between about 1878 and 1887. He was at Waverley from 1888 to 1897.
