photographer, returned from operating a photographic studio in Fiji to work with the photographer Temple West in Newcastle, then established his own studios at 28 Erskine Street, Sydney, in 1906. He advertised in Sydney as a 'marine artist and photographer’, but Fletcher says he almost certainly did not paint, employing artists such as Reginald Borstel to paint ships in conjunction with his photographs. A Sydney Morning Herald reporter in the 1920s described Dufty’s Erskine Street studio and its marine painters and photographers in some detail (see Fletcher, page 148).
