历史
Worked as a professional photographer on Regent Street.
Hired by Quintin Hogg to teach photography in 1882, and went on to become head of the School of Photography. Retired in 1918.
Farmer invented 'Farmer's Reducer' - a solution of ferricyanide and hypo, used in the reduction of density and to increase contrast in a negative.
In 1906/7 Farmer visited the Lumière Laboratories in Lyon to learn about their autochrome process. The Lumière Brothers requested that their London Agents work in conjunction with Farmer and the Polytechnic's School of Photography took the lead in the training of 'natural colour professional portraiture. In 1911, this resulted in a royal commission to create an autochrome of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught which was inserted into the pannelling of Fyvie Hall in 309 Regent Street.
Farmer introduced cinematography to the syllabus of the School of Photography in 1909.
