Help with studio location please
« on: Tuesday 30 June 09 04:08 UTC (UK) »
Wondering if anyone can help with this one please  Kiss I have done some simple searches with no luck so far.

ZAZA STUDIO

card measures 137mm x 85mm and the back is blank, matte finish on front.

The photo has been with others I have from mum, I pencilled most of the id's on family ones when I was living at home and questioning who was who. I would like to think this was my dad born 1909 NZ but if that was the case mum surely would have said so.

TIA for any ideas

Only reference I can find to the Zaza Studio is to a photo they took of a Presbyterian church in or around Auckland in 1928 -

http://www.presbyterian.org.nz/archives/photodatabases/1928parishimages.htm

There are probably others around who have more information on New Zealand photographers.

Excellent finding that Robert, you did much better than I did. I wasn't sure it was going to be a NZ studio even, though with that reference I'm still hoping the photo is of my dad. Perhaps I felt it was unnecessary to write on it back then, now I don't remember clearly if mum told me  Undecided  but suspect it may be dad, have no other childhood ones of him at all.

Thankyou
