Marti Friendlander | Social Studies Term 2

In Term 2 we have been researching different New Zealand paintings and have been writing about them. Once we did a few, we had to get into groups and pick a person. My group picked Marti Friendlander. A women from New Zealand.

Marti Friedlander
She began working as a photographer in 1964, when she travelled around New Zealand.
Her passion was taking photos of New zealand and the different events that took place.


Marti Friedlander photographed the people of New Zealand from the 1960s up until the present.
By bringing an immigrant’s perspective on her adopted country she showed New Zealanders to
themselves. She is particularly renowned for her portraits of artists in the 1960’s and 1970s, and for
her images of the last Maori women to have received the chin moko in a customary manner.

This is one of her Photographs "Neil & Tim Finn 2003"

  2. Kia ora Liam. My name is Taleisha and I am a year 7 in Te Ngahere. I really like your social study work on Marti Friedlander. It must be a great privilege to take the last photo of Maori woman to receive a chin moko. One question, was she named after a road? A road in south Auckland is called Friedlanders Rd. Is this the same name or is it someone else’s name? I would really like to know. Thanks for posting :). Taleisha
