I choose: ANNE GEDDE
DESCRIPTION:
Anne Geddes creates images that are iconic, award winning and beloved. Like no photographer before, her imagery singularly captures the beauty, purity and vulnerability of children embodying her deeply held belief that each and every child must be “protected, nurtured and loved”.
DATE & PLACE OF BIRTH:
September 13, 1956 in Queensland, Australia
HOW DID SHE START?
After moving to Auckland, New Zealand, with Kel her husband, who launched the first commercial television network in New Zealand in 1988; Anne set up her first official studio. Anne’s first ever photograph to be published was in a local New Zealand magazine.
WHAT KIND OF PHOTOGRAPHY DOES SHE TAKE?
She is committed to keeping her studio kid friendly. Instead of insisting children continue to pose until they are in tears, Geddes takes disappointments in stride. For example, out of 55 children posing as worms for "Down in the Garden," not one of them yawned during the sessions - a shot Geddes dearly wanted. Rather than keep pushing or trying tricks to get the babies to yawn, she just let it go.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT HER PHOTOGRAPHY?
People say her work is bright, colorful and full of smiles, flowers, babies and more.
