His family moved to Washington, D.C. in 1900, where Scurlock apprenticed with a white photographer, Moses Rice. In 1904, at the age of 21, he opened his own studio, working out of his parents' home, focusing on the African-American community. He became the official photographer of Howard University, and in 1911 he opened Scurlock Studios - Fine Photography, on U Street. He was "one of the leading photographers of his day ever present at school and church ceremonies to capture on film Washington's and the nation's premiere black community in its life and work" (Sullivan, *Black Artists in Photography, 1840-1940*, p.85). He photographed Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson, Father Divine, and W.E.B. Du Bois, among many others. He also served an important role as a "functioning news service, supplying African-American newspapers with photographs of major events" (ibid, p.93; c.f. Coar, *A Century of Black Photographers: 1840-1960*, pp.65-72, 184). The Scurlock Studio Archive was purchased by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
