PAINTING WITH LIGHT IN A DARK WORLD, 2002 SBS

One photographer’s unique vision of Sydney’s underbelly.

At night the cracked pavements of Kings Cross swarm with the deviants of an unknowable underworld. In the thick of this chaos is a photographer who has seen and immortalised it all. For over ten years, Peter Darren Moyle has been trawling the depths of Sydney's underbelly with his old 1936 medium-format Rolleicord camera, illuminating the darkest shadows of the city's psyche. This is a film about his unprecedented photographic odyssey through the blackness and his recent struggle to emerge into the light via his first solo photographic exhibition curated by the renowned critic Robert McFarlane.
