AN UP TO DATE
PHOTOGRAPHER
Mr.. w. A. Bradley Receives Some
Expert Opinion on His Excel
lent Work in Artificial Light
Picture Making

Mr.. w A. Bradley, photographer.
of this city, is doing excellent work
in his line, and IS receiving merited
praise from the Photographic journals
of the country TIL St. Louis and
Canadian Photographer, the Oldest
Photographic journal in America ana
Canada, in its January issue gives
Mr.. Bradley criticism that IS we'll
worth the efforts he has made to ex-
cell Says this journal:
From the studio Of ". A. Bradley
Of Greenville. Miss. come six prints
Of exceptional excellence, both tecn-
nically and pictorially. There is only
one adverse criticism I cadld make
and that is OF the backgrounds in
the full length OF the child and tn,
group In the latter the markings up
on the background on the right cuts
up the space and comes forward. In
the child the mass of i'll defined light
from the top comes on the right
reaching tot he childs hood or bon
net is too insistent.
With these exceptions the six
prints show exedel1ent qualities in
posing, lighting and tone values. In
all the tone of the flesh is kept in its
proper relation to the white drapery
while the white drapery is full of del
icate graduations of tone, with only a
very small proportion of pure white

These prints would deserve com
menration if they were taken under
a skylight with the best of daylight
examples of artificial lighting. Mr.
Bradley says they were all taken If
an inside room by electric light, anC
as he says, they prove that just a,
good results can be obtained by elec
trio lights as by day light providing
you have the proper system anC

that they were taken by artificial ligh
Mr. Bradley does not say what sys

there is nothing to distinguish thes
} from the best day-light-effects, an
} in the group there is only the cas-
shadow of the two heads in fror
upon white drapery of the standin
D figures that would indicate artihcis
lighting, but these cast shadows ar

Bradley must be congratulated upo
his success, both in his system

Mr.. Bradley's system OF lighting
his own and he will apply for pa
ent and in short time organize
company and put it on the markt
His is the only practical system t'
giving artificial light in photograph
and judging from the expert OPT.
ion given above it is bound to be
great success.
