William Henry Whiteman was a commercial photographer active in the Trinidad. He established a photographic business in Trinidad circa 1897. In 1898 he had a studio on Abercromby Street (Collens 1898, p.87). By 1905 he had moved to Frederick Street, where he remained until circa 1916 (Collens 1905, p.95; Franklin 1916, p.241).
