Rosalina-Ludmila McCarthy (formerly Palamountain) became Nelson’s second woman Professional Photographer (after the historical Rosaline Frank) with her own Studio.

One Photographic Career highlight was a commissioned assignment to India where she also took an official portrait of Prime Minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi.

After photographing a Child Care centre in Siberia, a joint career combining Photography & Research writing work began with documentaries, radio play written/produced/ broadcast, becoming radio interview host, plus work on scripted audio-visual photography, photo/journalism, studio & social event photography.

Including her photography, later qualifications led to researching/documenting commissioned evidential reports for Organisational & Private Clients on a variety of topics including Historical Land Issues & Claims.

Her full length non-fiction book recently published entitled BELATED ACCOLADES is a slice of New Zealand photographic history from her Archives.
