After moving to Adelaide with his parents in 1860, Caire was mentored by American-born Townsend Duryea, a prominent photographer of the early South Australian colonies. In 1867 Caire opened his first studio in Adelaide before moving to Melbourne and establishing a second studio on Collins Street. With the development of the Dry Plate photography process, Caire shifted his focus from portrait to outdoor photography resulting in him venturing out of the city and into Melbournes surrounding landscape as well as making trips to the other Colonies. Many of the photographs taken on these trips were consequently used to boost tourism in these areas.
