Errol A. Nyss
Anglo-Indian photographer grew up in Darjeeling with brother Garney NYSS (India 1916-1998).
Their father gave Garney a Box Brownie when he was eight which he used to record the trains chuffing up the hills.
Errol may have started as an amateur in his youth as well and was active in Pictorial salons from the mid 1930s when he had an ARPS [Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, London] until at least the 1950s when his work appeared in 'Photography Annual 1952.
A Selection of the Worlds' Greatest Photographs by the Editors of Popular Photography'.
The brothers started NYSS PHOTOGRAPHERS in Calcutta in the 1930s.
Errol Nyss's career is less well known today than that of his photographer filmmaker, musician and sportsman brother Garney.
It is not known whether Nyss shared Garney's music interest or was part of the latter's band the Aloha Boys [Haloaha Boys] formed in 1938. For Garney NYSS see
