I'm looking for information on my biological father Hugh Scott. I have two pieces of information, from the British Journal of Photography, on his photographic career - see below:

10 Sept 1937.  In a report on the Professional Photographers’ Association exhibition of portraits in London:  ‘Hugh Scott has some good large heads, mostly of sitters in theatrical character, though the make-ups, and particularly the wigs, are in some cases not so successful as the photography’

7 Oct 1949. Hugh Scott is noted as joining the staff of the London School of Photography, Perry’s Place, Oxford Street, London W1

Has anyone come across either his name and/or his work and might be able to add further detail? Are there any other sources that I might check to get further information?

  • I have an old  directory of English Scottish and Welsh photographers  by Australian researcher Sandy Barrie 1998  which lists Hugh Scott only once 187 and 89 Oxford st 1938-39  but couldnt find anything in British newspaper achive  or the american newspaperarchive unless he is the same Hugh Scott as author of a book on etiquette.
