A conversation with Anne Geddes, arguably the most famous baby photographer of all time.
“I love children’s books. Some of them are so beautiful and last for generations, and it’s an art form illustrating and writing a children’s book. Our girls were at that age when we would read them children’s books all the time.
Next, Oprah Winfrey invited her to her show, which was when she had a book club. Geddes had never watched Oprah’s show because she lived in New Zealand at the time, and it was a daytime show. “There’s no meanness, there’s guileless, there are little babies, and it’s only what we instill in them as they’re growing older that they become different people. My work is about promise and the Miracle of New Life.”in Germany and went with Kel. Afterward, they went to London with 30 prints as examples of her work to meet various publishers before“We went to one place to see whether people get what we were doing or not,” says Geddes. “I had a huge hurdle as well because of the subject matter.
“Other photographers, men, would ask me what kind of work I did. And I’m like, ‘I photograph babies.’ I wish there was another way to say it that sounds different, but it’s what I do, right? And they would invariably say, ‘I used to do that when I was first starting out,’ with the implication that then they went on to something more important like landscapes or fashion. I was always puzzled by that attitude, but now I’m used to it.”.
“You can put so much work into a set, and people look at it and go, ‘Oh look, that baby’s so cute, and you feel like saying there are six months of work that went into everything behind the scenes.” “I have ideas for images I would love to do, but it’s not financially viable unless I do campaigns. There’s no financial viability to a calendar these days. I just can’t do it.”In 1993, Geddes photographed a 2.2 lb. premature baby in big hands at the NICU at the Women’s Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. She is now 30 and a photographer herself.
“March of Dimes is very much involved in the health of pregnant women and premature babies, so it was a natural fit. “Everybody loves their babies, or 99.9% of people do. Babies make us want to be better for them. What drives me in my work is that we should protect, nurture and love our children. I wasn’t necessarily from a child where that happened, so I’m very motivated by that as well.
“There are images all over Instagram, people scrolling—a kid on the subway, and everyone else is scrolling, scrolling and scrolling. True art is putting an image there that would stop them from scrolling. If they see an image that makes them stop scrolling and think about something, that’s the goal of a true creative.
“I always joked that when I first picked up a camera at 25, I was the first photographer I had met,” she says. “I was always fascinated with the concept of a still image but only have two or three images of myself as a child and none as a newborn. I was the middle of five girls, and cameras weren’t that prevalent in those days.
