This Thing Of Ours

The Sopranos is an American television drama centered on New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano, a high-ranking figure in the Italian-American Mafia navigating internal power struggles within his crime family. Set against the modern American underworld, the series explores the psychological toll of his dual life through his therapy sessions with Dr. Jennifer Melfi, revealing the tension between ruthless ambition and personal vulnerability.

Over the years, The Sopranos has left a lasting imprint on modern television. Its influence can be seen in later series such as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Wire, all of which adopted its serialised storytelling, morally complex characters, and cinematic approach.

Living Proof has collaborated with photographer Anthony Neste, whose work captures both the series’ iconic imagery and previously unseen moments behind its creation.
