Trained in lithography and photography in Germany, Edmund Diederich emigrated to South Australia in 1881. He worked for a short time in Adelaide before pursuing a career as a travelling portrait photographer and artist with his mobile studio. He travelled through the mid-north of South Australia before settling in Hahndorf around 1895 where he worked as both a photographer and farmer.

Some of Edmund Dieterich's glass-mounted photographs are held at the Hahndorf Academy and are probably available for viewing by prior arrangement.
Some of Dieterich's photographs include his wife (Elizabeth) and their children Wilhelm and Ida. Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of Gottfried and Elizabeth Kuchel, whose prominent family farmed at Kirchenbergen nr Hahndorf for about 50 years.
