George J Morris (Australia 1884–1959) became interested in photography through his work in the engraving business. After a trip to Europe and the United States in 1920, Morris became a part of the Sydney pictorialist community. He began exhibiting in about 1925 as a member of the Sydney Camera Circle and the Photographic Society of New South Wales. Around this time, Morris established a commercial studio in Sydney specialising in advertising and industrial photography. In 1927, he became a partner in Ramsay Photo Works, which led him on another trip to Europe and America in 1936. Morris later exhibited photographs from this trip, printing them as remarkably large bromoil transfers.
