Marti Friedlander has had a long career as a photographer. Her photographs of elderly Māori women with moko, artists and writers, vineyards and vintners, and children are particularly well-known. Her books include Moko: the Art of Māori Tattooing (with Michael King, 1972), Larks in Paradise: New Zealand Portraits (with James McNeish, 1974), Contemporary New Zealand Painters: Volume 1 (with Jim & Mary Barr, 1980), and Pioneers of New Zealand Wine (with Dick Scott, 2002).

Her work has been exhibited at the Photographers' Gallery in London, the Waikato Art Museum, and in a large and celebrated retrospective at the Auckland Art Gallery in 2001, which then toured New Zealand. She lives in Auckland.
