Summary No discussion of the photographic history of Australia can proceed very far before the name Athol Shmith comes to fore. His career as a studio photographer spanned several decades from the nineteen-thirties when his first softly focused portraits were taken in the family sitting room in St Kilda, Melbourne, through a meteoric rise to popularity as a fashion and celebrity photographer, to the influential position of Head of Photography in the Prahran College of Advanced Education throughout the seventies
