Eunice Harriett "Una" Garlick (15 February 1883–17 March 1951) was a New Zealand photographer. Her subject matter was mainly concerned with landscapes and Māori studies, in particular portraits of Maori women. Garlick was known for her pictorialism style.
Garlick was born to a wealthy merchant family and was the seventh of ten children.[1] As a result of her family's social position she was never required to work for a living.
She became the first female member of the Auckland Photographic Society in July 1921.[2]
In 1926 Garlick won the Auckland Photographic Society Association Medal for most competition points and she became a committee member in 1927.[2] Also that year she had one of her photographs selected for the Annual International Salon of Pictorial Photography in British Columbia, Canada.[2] In 1928 another photo was selected for the London Salon of Photography and another for the Salon International D'Art Photographique held in Paris in 1929.[2] Garlick was made an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society.[2]
One of Garlick's most notable works 'Guide Georgina' was selected for the American Annual of Photography in 1930.[1]
She died of cancer in 1951.[1]
