Award-winning photographer Anne Geddes founded a new
tradition in visual storytelling and captivated an
international audience. Now, after spending 12 months
photographing, Anne reveals a range of images that are, in
her own words, among the most personally rewarding she has
ever created. A beautiful gift book of more than 100
never-before-published photographs, BEGINNINGS
will be released worldwide on 10.10.10 in countries
including, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy,
Australia, New Zealand, and Poland. “I have always been
fascinated by elements of nature at the moment of
transformation,” comments Anne. “Babies are the human face
of beginnings, but all of nature is caught in this insistent
stream of seasons, of aging and rebirth, of concealment and
bursting forth. Every time I unwrap a newborn, even after
all these years of photographing them, I am aware of the
miracle before me. This book, Beginnings, took me on a
journey of discovery to reveal these everyday miracles of
nature, these complementary wonders, in
imagery.” Continuing in the tradition that has made her
one of the most sought-after and popular photographers in
the world, in BEGINNINGS, Anne Geddes presents
the simple and elegant elements of nature as we have never
seen them before. With her camera, she has conceived a fresh
story about the delicate and powerful mystery of new life
that will inspire nature lovers just as surely as her images
of babies have captured the imaginations of people around
the globe. She reveals the intricate beauty of birds’ nests,
the delicacy of eggs, and the glorious color hidden inside
the tight, unopened petals of a blossom before it blooms.
Then, she expands on her visual metaphor to reveal
surprising and illuminating juxtapositions of beginnings in
floral and human forms. Once again, Anne Geddes draws
our eye to celebrate those treasures worth nurturing and
protecting. Told in a language of love that is understood by
so many cultures and people of all ages,
BEGINNINGS is sure to transcend boundaries, as
her other internationally bestselling books have done.
