Elite Studio
from 1896 - about 1911
Mr
F. W. Mason, who has lately taken over the Elite Studio, has effected
considerable improvements to the premises with the double view of
ensuring the comfort of patrons and of turning out the best possible
work. The arrangements for lighting the studio are on the most approved
plan, and as Mr Mason has also secured a complete set of scenery and
other necessary accessories, patrons may rely upon receiving the best
attention.

All interested in the development of the photographic art, and especially those desirous of seeing for themselves what results can be obtained by the most recent methods and appliance, would do well to visit Mr F. W. Mason's Elite Studio in Hastings street.
Mr Mason makes a specialty of portraiture, eschewing outside work altogether, and by thus devoting his entire attention to one branch of the business, has established a high reputation in that particular and important line.
His enlargements are in every way artistic, and in groups as well as individual portraits, he has succeeded in giving the utmost assisfaction [sic] to a very circle of patrons. His latest novelty is in the form of midget pictures, beautifully finished and very nicely mounted. These he can supply at a figure astonishingly low, and, as they possess every merit that a high-class and up-to-date photograph should have, they will no doubt find great and lasting favor with the public.

The latest improvement in photographic material is a new printing paper known as "Platona," specially prepared for portraiture. The results obtained by its use are excellent, the pictures being beautifully soft and clear. Some fine specimens may now be seen in the show cases at Mr P. W. Mason's Elite studio, Hastings street.
