John H. Boyd (1898-1971) was a prolific photographer, based in Toronto, Ontario.[1] He was the first President of the Commercial and Press Photographers Association of Canada.
Mike Filey, the author of a long-running column in the Toronto Sun, on the history of Toronto, described Boyd as a technical innovator, who modified and tuned his cameras, which, incidentally, gave them a distinct appearance.[1] Boyd was the first Canadian to transmit a photograph electronically. Filey described Boyd as a meticulous craftsman and record-keeper, whose logbooks donated to the City of Toronto archives, recorded the number, subject and date of over 100,000 negatives for photos he took.
