Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the role of the Bucharest photographers from the end of the 19th Century and the first decade of the 20th Century in the research of the scenographic art evolution on the territory of Romania. Based on archival studies and bibliographical references, the work follows the collaboration of photographers with the theatre and the impact of this invention on society. The photographers invited to craft their art are representatives of the Royal House, specializing in portraits and landscapes. In the case of theatre, the photos are more than portraits, the works prove an exquisite artistic spirit through the stage layout and the impressive presence of the actor. Thus, portraits capture characters and an enthusiastic embodiment of the role, an attempt to immortalize the movement and keep alive the memory of a performance.
