New Studio
Esk Street Improvement. Mr J. D. Campbell's Enterprise.
Favourable comment is frequently made on the handsome appearance of Invercargill’s business premises. Much of the credit for this is due to the enterprise of the owners of city property. Not content with merely collecting rents, they have almost without exception erected premises that are a credit to the city. One of the latest improvements that have been effected is in Esk street, where Mr J. D. Campbell has completely changed the second storey of his premises by having it rebuilt and remodelled into a photographic studio, which will compare more than favourably with any other studio in the South Island. Esk street has been considerably improved by the handsome external appearance of the new building, while its interior has been amazingly transformed from rather drab tearooms into a studio of immaculate cleanness, high efficiency and maximum comfort.
There is a large front room 32 feet by 22 feet. This will be the gallery where the actual photographing is done. It receives light from a large rooflight and from a handsome steel sash window 16 feet by 7 feet. A special lamp for taking photographs at night is included in the fittings. This will enable a group of up to 40 people to be taken under conditions equal to daylight.
Opening off the gallery is a small dark room for changing the films and office which also opens off the reception room. The latter is situated at the top of the stairs and opening off it are two dressing rooms, one for ladies and one for men, and a retouching room. The rear part of the premises consist of work-rooms. There is a mounting room with an electric mounter and a proofing cabinet outside. A washing room contains an electric drier. Adjoining it are two dark rooms fitted with large leadlined sinks and special lighting arrangements. These rooms are for developing and printing films sent in by amateurs. At the other end of the washing room are the portraiture dark rooms, containing two enlargers and a portrait printer. There is also a portrait film developing dark room replete with the latest lighting devices.
Mr Campbell has had the studio specially built for Mr P. C. Hazeldine [sic]. Messrs Gray Brothers were the contractors.
