Anne Geddes

Anne Geddes (born September 1956) is an Australian-born photographer, clothing designer and businesswoman who now lives and works in New Zealand. She is well-known for her stylised depictions of babies and motherhood.

Her work is extremely idealized; babies in her photographs are almost always sleeping or staring blankly into space, as if still in the womb. This has led to criticism of her photography as being overly sentimental, even grotesque. Nevertheless, she has been very successful; her books have been published in at least fifty countries. According to Amazon.com she has sold more than 11 million books and 15 million calendars.

In 1997 Geddes was awarded a Lifetime Membership in the Professional Photographers of America and an Honorary Fellowship with the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP).

In 2004, Geddes collaborated with Canadian singer Céline Dion. The project, called Miracle, is a combination of music and photos revolving around the themes of new life and babies.

In 2004 and June 2005, the French postal service, La Poste, used four of her photographs for post stamps. They illustrated the series "C'est une fille - C'est un garçon" ("It is a girl - it is a boy").
