Kweku Asafu-Adjaye Weekly Post - Anne Geddes

Anne Geddes

Where does one start with this lady. Anne Geddes was born on September 13, 1956 from Queensland Australia. She has published many books and created many calendars with her work. Speaking of her work, she creates interesting photographs of newborn/babies. One could say her central theme is "baby expressionism" where she takes babies and sometimes dresses them in vegetable clothing, or sometimes where she acts as if a parent is pregnant when in fact the baby is just under the loose shirt. An example of these are shown below:


Geddes has a very intimate, yet funny ideology to her photos. Who would have ever thought of putting a baby in a leaf of lettuce and it actually looking good. She often uses soft backdrops and light to keep the photograph seeming serene and soft.

Anne Geddes as of now has sold millions of books on Amazon and continues to excel in the photography world. Her daughters: Kelly Geddes and Stephanie Geddes are also in the photography field as well.
