Thanks very much for your comments and for your thoughtful question about Madam Walker’s use of photography.
Indeed, she was very conscious of the power of images and used her photographs to convey success and to promote her products. One of her earliest ads is a “before and after” panel displaying the effects of her products. She was photographed in her automobiles, in furs, in group shots with her sales agents.
This particular photo, which is the most iconic image of Madam Walker, was taken by Addison Scurlock, one of the most accomplished black photographers of the early 20th century.
Her daughter, A’Lelia Walker, also was quite conscious of the power of photography and was photographed by some of the most well-known photographers of the 1910s and 1920s including Scurlock, VanDerZee, Bernice Abbott, R.E. Mercer and James Allen.
You will find several articles with the photos on my other blog at http://www.aleliabundles.com.
A’Lelia

You’re performing a wonderful service by putting this site together. Thanks.

OAN: I’ve been curious about this photograph for a while. What was your great-great grandmother’s approach to using photography for her advertisements? What was her relationship to photography in general?

I truly admire everything Madam Walker accomplished in her lifetime. I can only dream of being as successful. I think it’s an excellent feat her great granddaughter is taking on by keeping Madam Walker’s legacy alive. I would have loved to meet and work with Madam Walker. I wish Ms. Walker much continued success in all her endeavors.
