editAnnie Elizabeth Davis was born in 1870.[1] Davis worked in a photography studio run by Alfred Martin as a mounter and finisher.[1][2][3] She also worked for Wrigglesworth and Binns photography studio of Wellington.[1]
In 1899, Davis and Emily Collis opened their own photography studio, The Ridgway Studio, in Whanganui.[1][2][4] They displayed their photographs in the front of the studio, and were particularly well known for their portraits of children.[1][5][6] They sold the studio in 1901 shortly before Collis got married.[1] Following this, Davis moved to Auckland.[1]
Several of Davis' photographs of Edith Collier are part of the collection of the Sarjeant Gallery, including images of Collier as a child with Ethel, Davis' sister.[1] In 1911 and 1912, several of her photographs were published in Auckland Weekly News.[1] There is also a set of archive files for Davis at the Te Aka Matua Research Library, Te Papa Tongarewa.[7]
