Anne Geddes, the extremely talented award winning photographer has received countless accolades for her gift in visual storytelling. Her eye for the unique makes every photograph she takes stand second to none.
Anne Geddes' books have sold over 19 million copies worldwide, have been published in 83 countries and translated into 24 languages.
I was naturally excited to receive her latest project 'Beginnings', a beautiful gift book of over 140 never before published photographs that took 12 months to photograph.


Book Brief:

Continuing in the tradition that has made her one of the most sought-after and popular photographers in the world, in Beginnings, Anne Geddes has conceived an original story about the powerful mystery of new life that will inspire nature lovers just as surely as her images of babies have engaged people around the globe.

She explores the intricate beauty of birds’ nests, the delicacy of eggs, the elaborate yet often unnoticed texture of bulbs, and the glorious color hidden inside the tight, unopened petals of a blossom before it blooms. Then, Anne expands on her visual metaphor with surprising and illuminating juxtapositions of beginnings in floral forms, as well as her signature babies and pregnant women.


The photography in the book is signature to Anne's work. To put it simply it is breathtaking. One cannot stop turning each page with one's mouth wide open in awe and amazement. Can you imagine what would gone into reproducing this beautiful photograph?


Amazing!

In Anne's words...

Till her next publication, this book really may just be that piece de resistance.
