He formed a studio partnership trading as Hemus and Hall in Warwick St, Perth in 1891 that continued until 1895 and the firm moved to the goldfield town of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia in 1896 where they traded until 1905. James however is listed in Auckland by 1898 so Hemus and Hall might have traded under his name although he was no longer involved in the studio. He was the brother of Auckland photographer Charles Hemus. Cheers!

The Historic Houses Trust of NSW has recently acquired a copy of a cabinet photograph by Hemus titled 'With Christmas and New Year's Greetings from Sydney. Hemus registered his copyright in this photograph in September 1884, at which time he gave his home address at Orchard Lodge, Hereford Street, Glebe Point. In September 1885 he registered two more photographs, this time in collaboration with another photographer named Oliver Godfrey. These were titled Hemus & Godfrey's Christmas Card no.1 and no.2. Hemus was then living at no.11 Mount Vernon Street, Glebe.<br />Megan Martin, Head, Collections & Access, HHT http://collection.hht.net.au/firsthhtpictures/fullRecordPicture.jsp?recnoListAttr=recnoList&recno=41401http://collection.hht.net.au/firsthhtpictures/fullRecordPicture.jsp?recnoListAttr=recnoList&recno=41401Megan Martinnoreply@blogger.com
