SUMMARY:

The present research has sought to recognize the socio-spatial transformations that occurred from the advent
of the arrival and expansion of photography by photographers and/or portraitists who circulated in Minas
Gerais in the 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily those who recorded Barbacena's, Lavras' and São João
del-Rei's landscape and society, which are micro-regional poles of the Campos das Vertentes mesoregion,
in almost 50 years since the arrival of photography in this region. It seeks to understand how the imagetic
production in this territory impacted the social construction and structuring of collective memory and social
organization. To support this theoretical-methodological study, theoretical references are being researched
on urban issues, memory, Anthropology and/or Sociology of the image, photography and its history. At the
same time, information on itinerant photographers is being crossed, as well as the collection of photographic
images from this period in available collections, which corroborate the understanding of photography and
photographic production in Brazil, Minas Gerais, and specifically in the mesoregion of Campo das
Vertentes of that time. These pioneers of photography coming from different places, when expanding their
activities in this region, brought more than the production and commercialization of portraits, they allowed
photography to be assimilated as a document of reality and to be consumed as an element of a modernity
in process. However, photography is an instrument that communicates and dialogues; it can unveil, “put
light and focus” and contextualize the gazes and the perceptions of this region, contributing to the formation
of memory and places of memory, allowing reflection on the aesthetic, social, cultural, historical, political,
economic and psychological dimensions, and even being able to interfere in the transformation of both the
landscape and the urban space.
