This doctoral (PhD) thesis is focused on Pierre Vergers life trajectory and searchs to analyse his integration in the photography world. Standing out the beginning of his career this work puts emphasis on a time not much knowing of the photographer life and for this the reasearch has privileged the understanding of Pierre Vergers relations with the core family, with the relations among the group of artists who were his friends and with the market demands. The family provides him the first entrance in the images world throughout his father business. Verger had some restrictions referring to the social obligations that the family status demanded from him in the bourgeoisie society. Verger had settled several contacts when he joined to the not recommended friends who lived in a different way which Verger was accostumed. He settled work groups and travels which had as result his initiation as a photographer. Photography market was in great increase in the between-wars period and had imposed so much competitions and disputes as also the wishing for some subjects which became photographal and, in this way, the images when didnt come from individual projetcs were, more often, produced according to some orders from customers: press, publicity, fashion and book publishers. Among the wish of releasing from the bourgeoisie family, his participation to the not recommended groups of friends and the market demands, Verger had found a path to stand out as profissional throughout the documental and humanist photography production, 14 years before his arrival to Brazil.
