RESUMO

This essay’s objective is analyze the photographic scene in the first half of 20th century in the city of São Paulo regarding the photographic production developed by the women, owners and conductors of theirs establishments. The opening of the work fits the pioneer Gioconda Rizzo, who opened it’s atelier in 1914, and continues analyzing the trajectory of nine photographers, considering that some offer more biographical information and images produced from them, in detriment of those very little vestiges had left. No doubt, the portrait was the style more used by all women and men, functioning as an initial insertion in the photographic market, as times went by, each one developed its career, longer or shorter, always searching alternatives rendering services to survive in a competitive market, without considering the difficulties increased by the war. For the presented panorama, it’s perceived the inexistence of memory of women’s work, specifically from photographers, despite their wide photographic production had not been capable to register their own career in the labor’s memory of a city like São Paulo. Lost pictures, lost memory.
