About 1909 he moved to Timaru to play in Timaru's first permanent vaudeville and cinema show. Later he established a photographic studio at 276 Stafford Street, Timaru. On the retirement of William Ferrier he took over the photographic work for the Timaru Harbour Board and was the official photographer for Rodolph Wigley's Mount Cook Motor Company. The studio closed about 1936 or 1940. In 1940 S. A . Bremford was operating from the address.
