Frank Moffat (Scottish, about 1853 - 1912)
Frank P. Moffat inherited the family photography business in Edinburgh from his father, John, in 1894. At a time when photographic portraiture was becoming both cheaper and more elaborate, Moffat concentrated on the upper end of the market, building up a business founded on what he described as 'high class portraiture - not upon low prices'. Known as a hard-headed businessman, he climbed to the top of his profession and was elected president of the Professional Photographers' Association shortly before his death in 1912.
