Biographical history
Stanley J. White was a British Canadian industrial photographer and writer.
Born in Birmingham, England in 1929, White’s first job was as a letterer for a commercial photography studio. Following wartime service in the Royal Air Force, he returned to the same company as an industrial photographer focusing on the Midlands. Further information about this period of Stanley White’s career is available in his article “Annals of a 1940s-50s Industrial Photographer in England” (Photographic Canadiana 39, no. 3).
White moved to Toronto in 1957, where he worked as a commercial and advertising photographer. From 1971-1993, he taught photography at Sheridan College (Oakville), with a focus on lighting and product illustration. White was also involved in the Photographic Historical Society of Canada and the National Stereoscopic Association.
White began writing poetry at the age of 51. He was a member of the Brantford Writers’ Circle, the Cambridge Writers Collective, and the Hamilton Poetry Centre. He self-published numerous chapbooks under the press names ““Third Dimension Press,” “Third Dimensions Press,” and “Beyond the Third Dimensions Press.” In 2022, he self-published two larger collections: Ars Poetica (poetry) and Short Tall Stories (short fiction).
White passed away in 2023.
