==Film industry==<br />
Bartley arrived in Madras and joined Pragati Studios. His maiden film was [[Swarga Seema]] in 1945. This film showed his genius at Black and White photography. The movie strengthened the friendship between him and the BN Reddy, KV Reddy, and Nagi Reddy. Successively, Bartley worked in many studios such as National Studios, Newtone Studios and Vauhini Productions. He wielded camera for all the forty odd Vauhini movies including such great hits as ''Yogi Vemana'', ''Guna Sundari Katha'', as well as Vijaya's productions ''Shavukaru'', ''Patala Bhairavi'', ''Pellichesi Chudu'', ''Chandraharam'', ''Missamma'', ''Maya Bazaar'', ''Appuchesi Pappukudu'', ''Gundamma Katha'', ''Shri Rajeswari Vilas Coffee Club'', etc. Most of the superhits of those times were made with his photographic hand at the camera. His specialty was the shots under the moonlight.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090618011704/http://www.hindu.com/2006/04/14/stories/2006041409190200.htm Ace lensman recalls magic moments in the Hindu]</ref><br />
