Having taken up amateur photography at the age of 21, the younger Dwyer followed his own fortune to the remote Goldfields of WA in 1892. Dwyer established his own studio in Kalgoorlie in 1901 and by the time he sold his studio in 1917, Dwyer had amassed a collection of some almost 11,000 glass plate negatives. Dwyer’s broad oeuvre captured the remarkably rapid urbanization and industrialization of the Western Australian desert and the people that populated it.
