Albert James Perier was born on 22nd April 1871 at Lyon, France. On 10th August 1884 he arrived at Sydney, New South Wales, with his parents and brother, Charles, on board the steamer R.M.S. Sorata. In about 1891 he started work in Sydney with the photographic company Baker and Rouse Ltd.

Perier was one of the pioneers of colour photography in Australia. In 1935 The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Mr. A. J. Perier, of Messrs. Kodak, Ltd. gave a demonstration of Kodachrome process and manufacturing at a largely attended meeting of the Sydney (Amateur) Movie Makers' Club.
