- Notice biographique
- Daughter of an amateur photographer, Elsie Holloway and other members of her family opened Holloway Studios, a portrait studio, in St. John's after her father's death. Holloway also kept the studio open after her brother's death and became well known for her skill in photographing children. She also took her camera into the field, photographing the Newfoundland landscape and various important local events, such as Amelia Earhart's departure for her first transatlantic solo flight from nearby Harbour Grace. Holloway retired in 1946 and a large collection of her photographs are held in the Public Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador.
