Lloyd Winter was born in San Francisco to parents Robert and Josephine Winter. Winter arrived in Juneau in 1890 and later worked with photographer George M. Landerskin. They established the Landerkin and Winter studio that lasted until 1893 when Winter’s friend Percy Pond landed in Juneau. Pond bought out Landerkin in 1894 the studio became Winter and Pond.((Tricia Brown, “Winter and Pond, Frontier Photographers.” LitSite Alaska, 2019 website: http://www.litsitealaska.org/index.cfm?section=Digital-Archives&page=People-of-the-North&cat=Pioneers&viewpost=2&ContentId=2568)) 

Winter could speak the Haida language and Winter and Pond were eventually adopted into a clan. They published a handful of books on Alaska and its people.((Tricia Brown, “Winter and Pond, Frontier Photographers.” LitSite Alaska, 2019 website: http://www.litsitealaska.org/index.cfm?section=Digital-Archives&page=People-of-the-North&cat=Pioneers&viewpost=2&ContentId=2568)) Winter followed the stampeders over the Chilkoot Pass in 1897/98 and shot images for the stereograph publisher Underwood & Underwood and the magazine //Leslie's Weekly.// Winter & Pond were named the official Alaska photographers for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition in Seattle in 1909.((Tricia Brown, “Winter and Pond, Frontier Photographers.” LitSite Alaska, 2019 website: http://www.litsitealaska.org/index.cfm?section=Digital-Archives&page=People-of-the-North&cat=Pioneers&viewpost=2&ContentId=2568)) In 1934, Winter & Pond Co. published a commemorative album called T//rail of 98 - Thirty-six Years Ago.//

Between 1915 and 1925, Winter and Pond operated mining claims near Juneau. The partnership ended when Pond died in 1943. Before Winter died, he passed the photography company to Francis Harrison who operated the business until 1956.((Tricia Brown, “Winter and Pond, Frontier Photographers.” LitSite Alaska, 2019 website: http://www.litsitealaska.org/index.cfm?section=Digital-Archives&page=People-of-the-North&cat=Pioneers&viewpost=2&ContentId=2568))
