Persons of Interest is a portrait series of fourteen actors in over thirty-one candid mugshots, inspired by Sydney's infamous criminal era of the 1920's. Known to police as 'Special' photographs, these bosses, bruisers, plotters and petty crims were captured with raw personality as they stare down the lens and into history. Exhibited and published in the Museums of History NSW, “Underworld: Mugshots from the Roaring Twenties”, at the Museum of Sydney (2017, 2018) and finalist in Head On Photo Festival at Sydney Town Hall (2017).

Interview and documentary by Museums of History NSW.
