Anne Geddes Biiography
Anne Geddes, Born and
raised in Queensland, Australia, Anne Geddes has always been interested
in the strength that a photographic image could hold. In her mid-twenties
she began experimenting with the family camera, developing her signature
style of simple structure and immediate visual impact. One of the
world's most respected and successful professional photographers,
Anne first captured the imagination and hearts of people ten years
ago. Released initially in New Zealand and Australia, today, her distinctive,
award-winning images of babies have become classic icons celebrating
life and birth. They grace greeting cards, calendars, books, stationery,
photo albums, and an array of other fine products, and are currently
published in more than 50 countries spanning North America, Europe,
the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Asia.
Anne's books have sold more than 14 million copies worldwide and been
translated into 15 languages. Her popular website, annegeddes.com,
has attracted more than 10 million unique visitors in two years, and
many send e-cards featuring her images to friends and family. Until
Now, Anne's stunning retrospective book of over 100 classic images,
personally selected from her body of work, celebrates birth and life.
Published in Europe in 1998 and the USA and Canada in 1999 it became
an immediate popular and critical success. There are more than 700,000
copies of Until Now in print worldwide and it has been translated
into seven languages. The New York Daily News called Anne "the most
popular and successful baby photographer in the world. Her photos
of infants are the shots seen 'round the world." Down in the Garden,
Anne's critically acclaimed gift book is a visual delight from pots
to plots to flower boxes and fields. Published in 1996, it has more
than 1.5 million copies in print worldwide and has been translated
into 10 languages. Time noted Down in the Garden's "whimsical and
colorful collages," and People magazine said Anne "does wonders with
minor models and a fertile imagination." Little Thoughts With Love,
released in 1998, combines Anne's remarkable images of children with
her favorite quotations from Eleanor Roosevelt, Hans Christian Andersen,
Mother Teresa and others, selected especially by Anne for her book.
The sayings reflect the joy and wonder of life that she captures in
her stunning images. It has sold more than 500,000 copies in four
languages. With more than 2.1 million copies in print, Anne's baby
journal, My First Five Years, remains a treasured keepsake edition
for a host of families. Anne's work continues to garner praise and
citations. She drew one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences
ever to attend a keynote session at the 1998 World Council of Professional
Photographers General Assembly, held during the bi-annual Photokina
exhibition in Cologne, Germany. Rewarded with a standing ovation for
her speech, Anne was presented with a specially engraved award for
her contributions to photography. Anne was awarded a Lifetime Membership
in the Professional Photographers of America in 1997, following a
speech she gave to the national assembly in Las Vegas. In March of
1997, she received an Honorary Fellowship with the New Zealand Institute
of Professional Photographers (NZIPP) in recognition of her unique
style of photography and her success in the publishing industry in
New Zealand and abroad. In addition to accumulating the most merits
ever awarded an individual photographer at the New Zealand Institute
of Professional Photographers competitions (formerly NZPPA), Anne
was the first woman to have earned a Fellowship from the Institute
through its awards system. Additional gold and silver merits have
added the prized "Gold Bar" to her Fellowship status. She has also
won a number of honors in the Agfa Photokina competition, as well
as the AGFA/NZIPP Professional Photography competition. Anne applied
her artistic expertise to another venue in 1997, directing two television
commercials inspired by her images for a leading United States retailer.
These commercials garnered Gold Awards for the Best Retail Commercials
in the United States at the Annual Retail Award Presentations in Chicago
that year. Ten years ago, Anne combined her interest in creating a
calendar of her images with her commitment to "giving back." In 1991,
she raised over $50,000 on behalf of the prevention of child abuse
through sales of her premiere edition 1992 calendar. Since then, annual
Anne Geddes calendar editions have been bestsellers around the world,
and designated funds totaling over US$3 million have been donated
through the Geddes Philanthropic Trust to help prevent child abuse
in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In the mid-'90s, her U.S. calendar editions received special recognition,
as the Calendar Marketing Association awarded her 1996 calendars and
date books two gold awards and one bronze and her 1997 "A Collection
of Images" calendar was ranked #1 in sales, according to the Calendar
Club. There are now more than 7.5 million Anne Geddes calendars and
datebooks in print worldwide. At the heart of her success is Anne's
deep and abiding love of children. Her unique artistic vision and
the purity of her imagery communicate this love in a universal language
understood by people everywhere. Together, Anne and her husband, Kel
Geddes, are directors of two companies. The Especially Kids Company
Limited, founded in Auckland in 1991, includes Anne's studio and is
responsible for all image creation, and Kel Geddes Management Limited,
which has the responsibility for all marketing, promotion, business
administration, operations, and the production of books, calendars,
and other items. Anne has recently embarked on a new endeavor. She
has just launched her new baby clothing collection which is now available
exclusively online. The range is designed for babies from justborn
to twelve months, click here to view the entire collection. Anne and
Kel live in New Zealand with their two daughters.
