After her marriage to a New Zealander, she emigrated with him to his homeland in 1958. Her husband worked there as a dentist and she as a nurse. At the same time she began to take photos in a country that was foreign to her and to deal with the conservative inhabitants.

She worked with the historian Michael King and photographed women from the Māori population and their tattoos , the Tā moko . Some of these recordings were exhibited in 2012 at the Frankfurt Book Fair together with the works of other New Zealanders in Frankfurt am Main .

In October 2016, Friedlander announced that she was suffering from advanced breast cancer. She died on November 14, 2016.
