Description
In this work we present the results of an optical photometric study performed to seven nearby AGN that were selected with the SDSS-DR5 database. Surface photometric techniques have been applied to the data in order to obtain B/D ratio and therefore the M_R(Bulge) magnitudes. Bulge luminosities were then used to estimate the black-hole masse (M_{BH}) in these AGN.
