Arthur Embery Higgins (25 October 1891 – 22 September 1963) was a pioneering Australian cinematographer known for his use of trick photography during the silent era.
His ongoing collaborations with director Raymond Longford include The Sentimental Bloke (1919) and The Blue Mountains Mystery (1921).
Eventually Ernest's fascination with photography and cinema took him to Sydney where he found work at Cosens Spencer filming newsreels and travelogues.
After leaving Higgins Bros, Arthur ventured further with Raymond Longford and Lottie Lyell's projects including The Sentimental Bloke (1919) and On Our Selection (1920).
Arthur married Sheila Elizabeth Smith on 27 June 1917 at Moonee Ponds, Melbourne.
