Biography: Geoff Perry (1900-52) worked as a commercial photographer in Wellington from the 1930s until he moved to Levin in the early 1950s. His principal form of income came from portrait sittings which issued from his Brandon Street studio. What makes Perry's work distinct from his competitors' is his innovative use of emblems or motifs which were projected onto his studio wall behind the subject. These helped to create a mood which reflected the individual's professional interests.
