Annie May Moore and her sister, Mina, built up a high reputation for studio portraits, originally in New Zealand, later in Sydney and Melbourne. They adopted a distinctive style of close-up-head studio portraiture, the only light coming from an open window to shine on one side of the face, on a plain, dark background. May retired in 1928 and died in 1931.
