George Caddy
George Caddy
George Caddy (1914–1983) was an Australian dancer and photographer. Caddy emerged as a significant photographer of social activities on Bondi Beach in his day, only when hundreds of his photographs were re-discovered in 2007.
An email from local photographer Jon Lewis in 2007 to Alan Davies, former Curator of Photography at the State Library of NSW asking if he knew anything about this cache of photographs that had been unearthed by George’s son after his death in 1983, ultimately introduced Australia to one of its most significant amateur photographers.
