Stunning Photos of New Zealand's Largest ( and certainly Scariest) Gang ~ by Photography Jono Rotman
Jono Rotman is a Wellington born photographer now living in NYC, who gained valuable experience photographing New Zealand's prisons and psychiatric wards, before he approached New Zealand's largest gang. The Mighty Mongrel Mob has been around since the 60"s and today they're the largest gang in the country, with around 30 chapters across both islands. They are known to have a very brutal initiation processes and have all the trappings of an outlaw biker gang ( patches and all) but are a real deal street gang One may ask themselves how he convinced 200 hardened gang members to sit for large format photography session - Jono explains: "Initially I called the gang liaison officer at the NZ police and got a list of numbers of people who communicate between the gangs and the police. When I started it was to cover the gamut of NZ's gangs, but ultimately I focused on the Mongrel Mob." S hano Rogue, 2010. C-Type Photograph, 1.9M x 1.5M ` by Jono Rotman Bung...
