Apagya challenged the traditional methodology in his executions of studio portrait art and introduced new concepts into the form of photography. Apagya, born into the first generation of an independent Ghana, brought modern qualities of consumerism into his art through his backgrounds. Apagya paints shelves with televisions and speakers with enlarged main brand names, like Sony, and refrigerators stocked full of food in his backdrops of interior locations and for exterior locations, he paints the famous and wealthy streets of Ghana as well as the Accra International Airport. Apagya combines classic elements of traditional African culture with the modern world of western consumerism by filling his backgrounds with material goods consistent with depictions of western middle class lifestyle, and having his subjects remain in traditional clothing.

Much of Reischek's early work in New Zealand centred on the museums in Christchurch, Auckland and Wanganui but, after his initial two-year contract was completed, he made several extended collecting expeditions over the next ten years, covering most of New Zealand and its sub-Antarctic islands, collecting biological and ethnographical specimens, including Māori skulls and mummified cadavers robbed from burial sites.

A studio portrait of the prime ministerial family in 1910 At the 1910 election, Labour gained sixteen additional seats to hold a total of forty-two of the seventy-five House of Representatives' seats, and all eighteen Senate seats up for election to hold a total of twenty-two out of thirty-six seats. This gave Labour control of both upper and lower houses and enabled Fisher to form his Second Fisher Ministry, Australia's first elected federal majority government, Australia's first elected Senate majority, and the world's first Labour Party majority government. The 113 acts passed in the three years of the second Fisher government exceeded even the output of the second Deakin government over a similar period. The 1910–13 Fisher government represented the culmination of Labour's involvement in politics, and was a period of reform unmatched in the Commonwealth until the 1940s, under John Curtin and Ben Chifley.

He was also the first man to win a marathon at the now official standard distance of 26 miles 385 yards when Olympic officials lengthened the distance to put the finish line in front of the Royal Box (the 1896 and 1904 Olympic marathons had been less than 25 miles long).

Studio portrait of an Aboriginal Australian (ca. 1870-1892) J. W. Lindt State Library Victoria H2001.60/7 Over c.1873-1874, using the slow and laborious wet-plate collodion process Lindt produced photographs of the local indigenous people both in their environment and conducting actual traditional ceremonies in the Clarence River district, and in his studio. In the latter, the subjects, set in elaborate recreations of natural environment, clothed traditionally, and surrounded by implements, are the more compositionally controlled because Lindt was able to prepare and process his plates with the necessary complex chemistry close at hand in his darkrooms. His prints were contact-printed from huge 20 x 16 inch (50.8 cm x 40.64 cm) wet plate negatives. Twelve of this series is included his 1874 album Australian Aboriginals.'Books, Stationary and Music, Australian Aboriginal Album,' The Sydney Morning Herald, Thursday, 31 Dec 1874, p.8 Also during his Grafton years, from 1869-1876, Lindt produced Australian Types (c.

Studio portrait of Henri Edmund Boissevain, the president of the Bangil Land Council in judicial gown, August 18, 1924 (photo by Tjioe Siauw Tjhwan) A portrait of a Kapitan Cina in Bangil The city was also the place where Untung Surapati's last war against the Dutch's VOC in 1706 took place and also where he died. Suropati's force tried to defend the fortification wall surrounding Bangil with its artillery, but eventually the Dutch, led by Govert Knol, defeated him and took over the town, where they lost about 400 to 500 soldiers of the Madurese. Arab merchants arrived around 1860 in the old town for trading, along with the Chinese merchants through a port in Porong Creek, located between Bangil and Rembang. Although Bangil was a relatively small area used as a stopover village, it was already known by traders familiar with its economic potentials, before they spread to the surrounding areas.
