Photography. Messrs Huff and Collinson have recently opened their American Photographic Rooms in Victoria Avenue, opposite the Roman Catholic Church. In the window are some fine specimens of the photographer's art, which will well repay inspection.

Wanganui Chronicle, Volume XXI, Issue 4111, 9 August 1879, Page 2

Mr Huff, of the American Photographic Rooms, showed us yesterday a thoroughly good photograph of the Wanganui Rifles, taken by him the previous day while the Company was drawn up in line, each man standing out clear and distinct. It will be a pleasant souvenir for members of the corps and their friends.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XIII, Issue 3721, 26 May 1880, Page 2

Photograph of the Wanganui Rifles - We have been shown by Mr Huff, of the American Photographic Rooms, Victoria Avenue, a capital photograph of this company which was taken by him on the Queen's Birthday. The locality chosen was the sandhills, Cook's Gardens, and the background of the picture are the hills on the opposite side of the river, the flagstaff being a little towards the left hand. The Red Lion Hotel and a portion of the river are also seen. The company, of whom seventy members were present, including the officers and band, were drawn up to receive cavalry, and they must have stood with remarkable steadiness, as the picture is quite free from the blurred and woolley appearance which is so often present in attempts to photograph large numbers of men. Every face can be very clearly distinguished, so that the picture will be a valuable record of the occasion on which it was taken. Mr Huff is to be complimented on his great success in producing such a capital and interesting work of art.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO

Mr F. B. Huff, photographer, of the Avenue, is determined to be abreast of the times in the matter of recent improvements in the art of photography, and, in order that he may have the requisite facilities for the production of the various descriptions of work, has taken a lease of the unoccupied section of land between Ainsworth's corner boot shop and Mr F. M. Spurdle's residence in the Avenue. Here he purposes erecting a fine two-storey building, after the style of the Wanganui Club, and having a studio of 30 feet in length, and of proportionate width in the upper storey. The plans of the building have already been prepared by Mr J. E. Wright, architect, and the building will be put in hand shortly. Mr Huff's lease of his present premises has only some four weeks to run, during three weeks of which time he purposes taking photographs as usual after which, while his new premises are being pushed forward, he intends taking a trip to the northern townships.

Mr Huff has not waited for the erection of his new premises, however, before providing himself with important improvements. For instance, he has dispensed with the old-fashioned system of taking photographs, by which the sitter was required to remain in a motionless attitude for an unconscionably long period before the result was achieved, which, even then, was not always of a very satisfactory character, the features frequently wearing a trained expression rather than a natural one.

By the new plates which Mr Huff has obtained, photographs are taken on the instantaneous principle, thereby conducting alike to the comfort of the client and to the artist, and to the faithfulness of the picture. By an ingenious contrivance known as a "pneumatic (or cadet) shutter" the artist is relieved of the necessity of standing in the immediate neighbourhood of his camera while the operation is going forward. Inside the camera is fixed a shutter worked by a spring, and to this is attached a narrow india rubber tube of any desired length, having an indian rubber tube at the end. Preparations for taking the photograph having been made, and the client having been inveigled, if we may so express it, into the most becoming attitude of form and  feature, the artist, without approaching the camera, squeezes the air-buld which he holds concealed in his hands, the internal shutter is forced up by the inrushing air, and lo and behold the sitter is astonished to find that the usually tedious operation is over, and with results in every way more satisfactory than could possibly be the case with the plates hitherto in use.

We were favoured by Mr Huff yesterday with an ocular demonstration of the quickness and efficiency of the process, and we confess to being surprised that scarcely any of the photographers in the large centres of the colony have as yet adopted this comfort-giving and time-saving process, the value of which is even more noteworthy in the case of infants' likenesses than in those of adults. The new process gives several other advantages over the old, one being that it is no longer necessary that a photograph having been taken, it should be worked up almost immediately to prevent the chemicals hardening. With the new plates several months might be allowed to elapse without damage to the picture. This obviously is a great boon to the artist, who is thus enabled to take the fullest advantage of the hours of sunlight and here again another benefit results, as even so late as five o'clock p.m., at this season of the year, Mr Huff finds no difficulty in producing first-class pictures. Some short time ago, finding the demands on his own time becoming too great to allow of his doing the finishing and colouring work, Mr Huff obtained the services of a thoroughly proficient lady artist from Melbourne, and is now able to cope with his increasing business.

We were shown by Mr Huff a number of really excellent oil-paintings, of large size, some of them being very handsomely framed. One of these is a capital likeness of the Rev. Father Kirk, and is, we understand, intended for presentation to the reverend gentleman by the members of his congregation. A life-like painting of Sir George Bowen, the colouring of which is thoroughly natural, is also among the number. There is also a fairly good painting of Sir William Fox, and an exceedingly good one, though of smaller dimensions, of Prince Albert.

As we have said, it is Mr Huff's intention, in his new premises, to devote attention to other classes of work for which his present studio offers no facilities.

It is some time since we had a respectable photographer settled in the district for any length of time, and the news that a gentleman of that craft has taken up his abode here for a short time should be well received. Mr. F. Huff, the enterprising photographer of Wanganui, has decided to fill the want that is felt, and will open in Hawera for a short time, though he must return at the end of the year. He has had a studio erected and fitted up in Regent-street, next to Mr. Hutchison's office, which is well-finished and replete with every convenience for the work, so that those wishing to avail themselves of his presence may do so knowing that they will be as well treated as if they were in one of the larger towns.

Photographer's Assistant
The qualifications of a photographer's assistant was the subject which occupied the attention of Mr. E. Page, S.M. yesterday afternoon Richard Buckingham Trindall Richardson (Mr. W. D. M. Glaister) sued Walter Clegg (Mr. Haddow) to recover £19 10/ for alleged breach of contract, or, as an alternative, for wrongful dismissal. The evidence for the plaintiff was to the effect that on the 13th of October, defendant agreed to employ him for at least three months. On the 20th of October defendant notified plaintiff that he did not intend to carry out such, agreement. In the course of the evidence it was stated that the plaintiff was to receive 30/ per week as a skilled assistant, and a number of photographs were handed in to show the quality of the work he had done. The defence was that the plaintiff was not equal to doing the work expected from a skilled assistant. The sum of 30/ had been paid into Court in full satisfaction. His Worship allowed plaintiff the 30/ paid in, and gave judgment for defendant, with costs.

MODERN PORTRAITURE.
SOMETHING NEW AND EXCLUSIVE.
The Acme of Artistic Art.

The picture-portrait is a department of art which during recent years has made great developments. What these improvements have amounted to lately is fully learned by a visit to the new photographic studio opened by Mr Walter Clegg, in Stewart Dawson and Co.'s new building.

Certainly a combination of circumstances have contributed to Mr Clegg's coming to Christchurch. In the first place Messrs Stewart Dawson and Co., in their desire to have their building fully up-to-date, spared no expense in making the photographic studio on the top storey as it ought to was designed by the architect with the special object in view of proving a real 20th century studio, and as such it comprises every feature essential to the producing of first-class picture portrait work.

Of the many applications for tenancy of the studio, it was only reasonable that care should be exercised in the selection of an artist photographer who had had experience and possessed ability to establish a business on a standard fully in keeping with both the up-to-date building and its popular proprietors. The man chosen was Mr Walter Clegg, one of the Dominion's young and promising artist photographers.

Mr Clegg's experience in his profession is certainly interesting. He studied the art in the Old Country, and has all along taken a keen interest in everything pertaining to tho artistry of photography - he is not the type of man to be satisfied with the purely mechanical photographic reproductions; he has striven for, and has achieved something infinitely greater and grander than the commonplace in reproductive art. A few years ago, on the advent of colour-photography, Mr Clegg visited the various centres of New Zealand instructing the leading photographers in the "latest" - at that time - processes of photography.
Now, however, Mr Clegg is executing a totally different style of work by a process which is exclusively his own, and has been protected by him. The artistic effect is certainly grander than anything previously attempted in portraiture. The new process is known as Indiaproof Blue Sketch Portraiture. One's first impressions on seeing the beautiful samples of work executed by Mr Clegg are that this new system is, indeed, the superlative of colour-portraiture. Finished off in sepia on a white background, the blue sketch effect so pleasingly executed gave that touch of hand-finish so much appreciated by artists. It was, indeed, the work of an artist, and Mr Clegg explained that, of course, the effect involved very considerable handling of the negative, in addition to his exclusive and patented process of printing. The wonder is, in fact, that considering the amount of professional skill and detail of work involved, the prices of this particular class of portraiture should be so reasonable.

The exclusive features of Mr Clegg's studio are apparent at once to the visitor. The electric lift, entered on the ground floor of Messrs Stewart Dawson's building, takes one to the top flat, and ushers one into the reception room of the studio. The fact that patrons have thus no steps to climb, and that the studio is so easy of access, is an item fully appreciated by all. The greatest feature, however, is undoubted in the fact of the studio having such a beautifully clear light. It is the highest photographic studio in the city and as such has no disabilities and disadvantages caused through the darkness and shadows of adjoining buildings. The advantages of the brilliance of light are also easily understood. In the first place it gives Mr Clegg the benefit of a long working day, as patrons can be photographed well on until dusk. This, Mr Clegg explained, ofttimes suited those who were not free earlier in the day. And, moreover, since superlative photographic results depend to a great extent on the clearness of light undiluted by smoke and fog, Mr Clegg has all the advantages of Nature in his favour to assist him in producing highclass work.

But to Mr Clegg this abundance of light proves still more so. Having come to Christchurch as a medallist in children's portraiture, the particular natural advantages of his studio permit of instantaneous photography, and will conduce to the executing of some very fine work in reproductions of child life, Mr Clegg, managing one of the leading Auckland studios during the past three years, gained the reputation of being one of the Dominion's foremost artists in this as in other classes of photography.

SUPERB PORTRAITURE.
In No. 9 shed a really charming display, one with a distinctive appeal, is that offered by the Bridal Studios (Walter Clegg). The wonderful portrait studies in gold tone and natural colours immediately arrest the attention of every visitor, the whole ensemble being a splendid example of the photographic art.

We need hardly remind our readers that the Bridal Studios are next to the Newmarket Post Office, where similar beautiful work is the order of the day with Walter Clegg.

[1] Purewa Cemetery & Crematorium
[2] A quiet but pretty wedding took place on the 9th September, in St. Mary's Church, Merivale, the Rev. P. B. Haggit officiating. The bridegroom was Mr Walter Clegg, of Christchurch, and the bride Miss Joyce Edith Gover, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs F. Gover, of Mt. Eden, Auckland. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, by whom she was given away, looked lovely in a frock of artistic simplicity, the material being pearl white souple satin with a train from the shoulders of pale pink satinlined with ninon. She wore her mother's wedding veil of Brussels net arranged over a circlet of orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of white cyclamen, maiden hair fern and asparagus, trails of the latter being tied with knots of pale pink ribbon. Her ornaments included the bridegroom's gift, a tourmaline pendant and chain. There were three bridesmaids, Miss Elsie Buchanan, the chief bridesmaid, wore a smart frock of saxe blue Georgette slightly braided and a quaint poke-shaped leghorn hat lined with terra cotta Georgette, the crown being composed of forget-me-nots of the same shade. Miss Price wore a pretty mastic coloured Georgette frock and a large black transparent tulle hat with ospreys to match her frock wreathing the brim. Miss. Beryl Crozier wore a dainty pale pink crepe de chine frock and black tagel hat lined with pink and wreathed with roses. All carried primrose posies and wore the bridegroom's presents, gold slave bangles. The bridegroom was attended by Mr Louis Crozier as best man, and Messrs. Walter Watson and Alex. Coltart as groomsmen. Mr Gordon Blackwell presided at the organ. After the ceremony the bridal party and guests were entertained by the bride's parents at a small morning reception at Broadway's, after which Mr and Mrs Clegg left by motor for their honeymoon. The bride travelled in a smart navy serge costume and pastel blue velour hat. Among the guests present were: Mrs D. Crozier in a black cloth gown, fox furs and smart black panne hat. Miss Rene Wake wore a navy serge coat and skirt, smart blue pedal straw hat trimmed with cherries. Miss Maud McCaldon, smart black and white coat and skirt, cream pedal hat. Miss Bennett, tailored coat and skirt, velour hat. Miss C. Fisher, navy frock, black pedal hat. Miss Gover, nigger brown silk frock, violet hat to tone with finishing on frock. - Observer, Volume XXXIX, Issue 3, 21 September 1918, Page 8
