Australian photographer Anne Geddes has easily captured the hearts of people around the world with her images of babies. Her works capture the beauty, purity and vulnerability of children, as well as Anna's firm conviction that every child, without exception, should be protected, educated and loved.
In most of Anne Geddes's photographs, children are dressed in costumes of fairy-tale characters, flowers or animals. Babies almost always sleep or stare into space, as if they are still in their mother's womb.
Anna is often asked why she chose children as the object of her work. Here is what Geddes herself says about this: “I just adore children and everything connected with them. To me, they symbolize hope. Children are incredibly beautiful and expressive, and as an artist, I constantly draw inspiration from them. From the moment I first picked up a professional camera, I never wanted to shoot anything else."
Anna has no shortage of models: parents themselves send pictures of their children to her studio in the hope that she will invite them for her next photo shoot. The photographer says that she often gets calls directly from maternity hospitals, and one excited and proud young father called when his newborn baby was only half an hour!
Anne Geddes was born in Australia and currently lives and works in New Zealand. In addition to photography, she is also involved in fashion design. Anne maintains relationships with many of her models as they get older. She admits that she is very fond of receiving letters from teenagers and adults whom she photographed in infancy.
Interestingly, Anne, being a member of the Association of Professional Photographers of America and the owner of many prestigious awards, studied the art of photography on her own and did not complete any courses.
