In 1913 Grainger's then fiancée Margot Harrison ordered a very expensive present for her lover: a portrait of herself by H Walter Barnett. Despite his humble beginnings in the studio of Stewart & Co in Melbourne, with his brilliant business mind and extraordinarily gifted photographic eye, Barnett became one of the most sought-after society portraitists in Melbourne, New York and London. Jack Cato (who worked for Barnett) records in his book, The Story of the Camera in Australia (1955), that in 1909 a single portrait sitting with Barnett cost £37.

Baron Adolph Sigismund de Meyer is seen by many as the founder of fashion photography. Later in his career he was to work for both Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. In London he moved comfortably in the highest levels of society and photographed many of the celebrities he met. His style—strongly influenced by Tonalist and Impressionist painting—was extremely fashionable at the turn of the century. He would manipulate negatives and prints and often use a soft focus lens. Detail was stripped away and the quality of light on surfaces, as well as the modulation of shadows, was almost as important to his style as depicting the sitter.

Adolph de Meyer photographed Grainger multiple times between 1903 and 1906—documenting the young musician’s maturation from late adolescence into adulthood. He lavished Grainger with expensive gifts and invited him to play at his many fashionable parties, paying him handsomely, an uncommon gesture among aristocrats. Emerging musicians were usually expected to play for no fee, with the exposure to potential patrons considered payment enough.

These portraits were taken in the same sitting at Elliot and Fry studio in London, and demonstrate how a change in lighting and camera angle can significantly alter the appearance of a subject. The studio was founded in 1863 at 55-56 Baker Street by Joseph John Elliott and Clarence Edmund Fry and operated for a century. It specialised in portraits of leading social, artistic, scientific and political figures.

Aimé Dupont was a fashionable New York studio where Grainger sat for a number of portraits sometime before November 1915. He had already made his debut to New York audiences and with the help of a manager was energetically promoting his career. These four images indicate how he made the most of a single portrait sitting with printed and hand-written inscriptions added for a more personalised effect. He had numerous post cards featuring these images machine printed with details of his future performances. The studio’s namesake, Aimé Dupont, died in in 1900, but his family, and subsequent future investors, kept his ‘brand’ going until the 1950s.
