"Te Korohohe" by William Thomas Partington is a notable work that delves into the rich cultural and historical tapestry of New Zealand's indigenous Māori people. Partington, an early 20th-century photographer, is renowned for his extensive collection of portraits and ethnographic studies that capture the essence of Māori life during a period of significant change and transition. His work is particularly valued for its authenticity and the respectful manner in which he portrayed his subjects, providing a rare and invaluable glimpse into the lives of Māori individuals and communities.

"Te Korohohe" stands out as a significant contribution to the documentation of Māori heritage, offering insights into traditional customs, attire, and the social dynamics of the time. Partington's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the dignity and resilience of his subjects have earned him a lasting place in the annals of New Zealand's photographic history. His images are not merely artistic expressions but also serve as important historical records that have been used by researchers, historians, and descendants of the photographed individuals to understand and preserve Māori culture.

The work is characterized by its meticulous composition and the use of natural light, which enhances the textures and intricate details of traditional Māori clothing and adornments. Partington's approach was both methodical and empathetic, often involving collaboration with his subjects to ensure that their portrayal was both accurate and respectful. This collaborative spirit is evident in the relaxed and natural poses of the individuals, which stand in contrast to the more rigid and formal styles of contemporary portrait photography.

"Te Korohohe" has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, and its images have been widely reproduced in books, articles, and online platforms dedicated to New Zealand's cultural heritage. The work continues to inspire and educate new generations about the importance of preserving and respecting indigenous cultures, making it a cornerstone of New Zealand's artistic and historical legacy.
